Materials
Yarn: Medium/Category-4 in 3 colors (amount varies by size)
Hook: ~5.0 mm (or to suit your yarn)
Notions: yarn needle, scissors, stitch markers/clips, tape measure
Sizing & Adjustments
Set panel width (A) from a sweater you love; set length (B) from shoulder to hem.
Work the big rectangle to B − 4.5 in (≈11.5 cm), then add shoulder shaping and hem rib.
Neck width is your choice; shoulder decreases keep the inner edge neat.
Sleeves: add a couple of increase rows for more room; work even to your arm length.
Hem/neck rib can be made deeper or shallower by changing the starting chain.
