This is designed to be a fun and simple make for an easy, everyday wear sweater. This is a great beginner sweater, with some modifications and customisable options for the more advanced knitter added at the end of the pattern. Each piece is knitted flat. It is then partially stitched together, with the neckline added at the end before fully stitching your piece together - however if, like me, you dislike purl rows then there is a modification at the end of the pattern to knit it partially in the round until the raglan shaping. You can also customize this pattern to make the sweater your perfect length (see the end of the pattern for details) for standard length just follow the pattern instructions.
