The sweater is crocheted top-down, making it easy to adjust the length of both the body and sleeves.
It is primarily worked in double crochet. The yoke pattern combines double crochet, front post stitches, and popcorn stitches, creating a fun-to-make tulip-like texture. Circular yoke.

Use a light blend of cotton and wool/linen to make a summery short-sleeved top, or work it in pure wool with long sleeves for a cozy sweater.
