The Dream Big sweater combines elegance and comfort. It features an oversized fit and is worked top-down seamlessly.

You begin by creating two shoulder panels. Next, you move on to the back section. The back is shaped using German short rows and then worked flat.

In the next stage, you work the front. First, you create the left front, shaping it with German short rows while simultaneously shaping the neckline. Then you work the right front in the same way. Once both sides are complete, they are joined together to finish shaping the neckline and to allow working across the full width of the front.

Next, you pick up stitches for the sleeves and continue working the project in the round, increasing stitches to shape the armholes. After completing this step, the stitches are divided into body and sleeves, and each part is worked separately in the round.

The collar is created by picking up stitches along the neckline and working to the specified height to achieve a double-layered thickness.
