Introduction:

This knit pattern is for a clean and classic pullover sweater. It creates a looser knit for a light and flexible fit, perfect for the summer-to-fall changeover and any rainy days in between. The sweater features horizontal stripes along the base and sleeves, and a boat or bateau neckline. A good beginner project if you’re just starting the craft! Size options are available for S [M, L, XL].
