Notes
This sweater is worked completely seamlessly and top down. The yoke is worked back and forth (flat) until the V neck is joined and body and sleeves are worked in the round.
V-neck is finished as you work the front yoke and sleeves and hem are also finished in process, so just weave in your ends when you're done.
The angle of the hemline adds a bit of flare and width without adding stitches and instructions are included for optional increases to the hips.
