ABOUT THE PATTERN 
The Magic Checkered Sweater has a unique construction and 
is beginner friendly since there are no technical difficulties 
such as intarsia or increases. To work this pattern, you will 
have to knit strips of squares to form the body and sleeves and 
then sew them together to finish. Rib edges are worked along 
the neck edge, cuffs and bottom edge.
