- Sizing Adjustments: This sweater is written for a standard medium size but can easily be customized. To change the width, add/subtract stitches to the foundation chain. To adjust the length, add/subtract rows throughout the pattern.
- Shaping: Keep track of shaping with stitch markers. Some sections require increases and decreases, especially around the neckline.
