๐Ÿชก Construction Notes:

  1. Work panels flat โ€“ front, back, and sleeves using the chart.
  2. Block your panels to measurements.
  3. Seam sides and sleeves together.
  4. Add ribbed hem, cuffs, and collar (can be made using simple front/back post dc ribbing).

๐ŸŽจ Customization Ideas:

  • Use different yarn weights for seasonal versions (e.g. mohair for winter, cotton for spring).
  • Add buttons or openwork at the sides for a tunic-style finish.
  • Mix in color blocking: keep textured ribs in a neutral and use soft pastel for the lace panels.
