Ellie Sweater

This sweater is a beginner-friendly knit with simple intarsia. 

You'll knit two panels flat and bottom-up: one back panel and one front panel. Both body panels will have some neck shaping. 

You’ll then pick-up stitches for the sleeves and knit them flat top-down. The sleeve cuffs can optionally be folded. 

The neck is worked in the round and can also optionally be folded.
