The majority of the sweater is worked in stockinette, save for the design featured on the front which is achieved by a combination of stranded colorwork and intarsia. The sleeves and collar are then picked up and worked in the round. The garment is designed to be oversized to allow for a gender neutral fit. There is an optional pocket to attach over the sardines to mimic the look of an open sardine tin, finished with an i-cord edging.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlease note, this pattern is a digital download!
