The Front and Back are worked flat and joined at the shoulders, then the Sleeves are picked up across the armholes and are also worked flat. Before seaming the sides, optional Surface Crochet is added along the purl columns to transform the stripes into an all-over plaid pattern. Stripes or plaid, whichever you choose, you can’t go wrong with this cozy sweater!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHere's what you can expect in our app:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e~ Access to this pattern ~ the Plaid Happy Sweater ~ along with surface crochet video tutorials to help you through this technique. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe pattern PDF download will be accessible on November 2nd, our cast on date, not at the time of purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e~ Coach help!
