Ready or Not Sweater Pattern

By Dani Sunshine

The big sister to Hide and Seek - Ready or Not is designed to be cozy and ready for everyday adventures. With a fading cable detail and hidden pockets, this sweater is sure to be a well loved staple.

• This lightweight sweater is worked seamlessly from the bottom up.
• The body is worked in the round to the underarms, after which the front and back are separated and worked back and forth.
• Short rows are used to shape the shoulders. The shoulders are joined using a 3 needle bind off. Stitches are then picked up for the sleeves, which are worked in the round down to the cuffs.
• The neckline and cuffs are finished with ribbing.
