    Excellent KNIT sweater pattern

    I have been knitting for 20+ years, so my skill level is advanced. However, I find sweaters with a simple construction to be the most wearable. This design is easy to knit and flattering when worn. I love the ribbed boatneck. I will use this pattern with other yarns in the future. The pattern could be easily adapted for knitting in the round but the stripes on the body would be narrower... And you will have jogs in the stripes on the sleeves. I prefer to knit my sweaters in pieces anyway. Only issue is the title says "crochet." It is a knit design.

    Crochet terms?

    Extremely confused by the crochet terms that are used in the notes that are not listed in the abbreviations.

    Is there any reason why the body of the sweater could not be knit on a round needle in one piece up to the under arms since both are identical?
