Gauge
22 stitches x 32 rounds in pattern for body stitch = 4 x 4” or 10x10 cm with larger needles.

Notes
This sweater is worked in the round from the top down. Short rows are worked across the back for slight shaping. After the yoke is complete the sleeve stitches are placed on waste yarn or spare needles to be picked up and worked in the round. The body stitches are continued in the round. The sleeve stitches are then picked up and continued in the round. The sleeve length can be modified, but if you want to knit them longer you will need to have a little more (extra) yardage of the MC than the pattern calls for.
