This beginner-friendly sweater by Barbara Wanthal features a slightly cropped, box-top fit with dropped shoulders, rolled boatneck, and loose three-quarter sleeves. Sleeve and body length are easily altered for an ideal fit. This pattern includes instructions for both top-down and bottom-up knitting. Knitting from the top-down allows you to try the sweater on as you go and knit a custom fit.
