Notes:
Men generally prefer a looser fitting sweater than women. This pattern is written to be unisex, and depending on how you’d like your sweater to fit you can choose whether to follow the men’s or women’s instructions. In the body of the sweater you can choose to work waist shaping for a more tailored or work the body straight. The sleeves and shoulders directions are separated for mens and women’s. This pattern is worked from the bottom-up.
