"Hazy Skies Sweater" - Digital PDF Pattern

This is a listing for a PDF digital pattern not a physical product.

The Hazy Skies Sweater is cropped with big puffy sleeves and has a unique texture covering both the body and sleeves. The texture is made by a simple design of knit and purl stitches which makes this pattern perfect for beginners, but still interesting enough for more experienced knitters.

This sweater is made up of one front panel, one back panel, two sleeve panels and a neckline that is knit by picking up stitches around the collar. All the panels are knit separately and seamed together.
