Confident Beginner. This pattern requires only basic knit, purl and simple increase stitches. However other construction techniques are required including casting on additional stitches and picking up stitches. The sweater is knitted flat and in the round.

The Cirrus Sweater is knit top down starting by knitting the back panel flat before picking up stitches for the front and sleeves, once the neck is joined the sweater is worked in the round. The sleeve stitches are separated to work later, and the body is continued in the round finishing with a split hem. The sleeve stitches are then picked up and worked in the round. Finally, a folded collar is added to the neck opening.It is easy to modify the length of the body and sleeves by knitting more or less rounds.
