Seas The Day Sweater

February is always very cold in Toronto.

And when I headed out on a quick vacation to Cancun a few weeks ago....this project idea came to mind.

A sweater that is long enough to be a cover up, cool enough to wear in the warmer months, and on point to pair with ripped jeans or shorts....

Here is Seas The Day Sweater

And like always: beginner friendly and adjustable to any size!

Notes before you begin:
-the amount of ribbing you complete is how wide each panel will be, I made a size small (it is a little over sized)
-complete more rows in the ribbing for a larger size, and less rows in the ribbing for a smaller size
-this sweater is made up of 4 panels: front, back, and 2 sleeves
-the collar is completed separately and seamed on the neckline after all pieces are seamed together
-I used 4 skeins of Caron X Pantone Solids in the colourway: Mushroom Greige.

Ready?

Let's make The Seas The Day Sweater!

The instructions are written for size S.  If changes are necessary to make a larger size, add the desired amount of ribbing/cuff rows before each panel.

*once you've reached half way up your arm (at your elbow) you can add 1 extra HDC at the beginning and end of each row - so you have more room for the upper part of your arm (this will create an increase)
