The pattern can be made with short or long sleeves and has a clever design for minimal finishing. It is knitted bottom up from the back hem up to the shoulders, then right and left fronts are worked separately to the front hem - so its just one piece of knitting!
It is an edge to edge design, you can add ribbon or a hook and eye to close the front edges.
Knit One Kits top tip: try blocking your work before sewing up. A guide to this is included in the pattern.
