Materials 2 (2, 3, 3) (4, 4) sks Merino Cloud (shown in color Nebula Nova)
I also used partial skein of contrast color for slip stitch pattern(shown in Cashmere Glitter color 250, cream)—approximately 35 grams

Construction:
The front is worked from the top down as a rectangle, but as a modular diagonal figure-flattering design. All sizes work the Expanding Width instructions until size specific width is reached as indicated in the instructions. Then the Squared off instructions are worked until size specific or desired length is reached as indicated in the instructions. Right and left sides are squared off individually to finish the rectangle. The Back is worked from the top down as a rectangle in the same way as the front but without the V neck. Sides are joined by picking up stitches and knitting sideways, and then sleeves are added right onto the top seamlessly. I cord edging added to bottom.

NOTE ON COLORS: Yarn A: main color in Merino Cloud shown in Nebula Nova colorway is used with B: a small amount of contrast color for slip stitch pattern along neckline of front and back, shown in cream. All other sections work A alone.
