ABOUT THE PATTERN
The Magic Checkered Sweater has a unique construction and is beginner friendly since there are no technical difficulties such as intarsia or increases. To work this pattern, you will have to knit strips of squares to form the body and sleeves and then sew them together to finish. Rib edges are worked along the neck edge, cuffs and bottom edge.
