MONO SWEATER is a relaxed, top-down design featuring classic stockinette stitch with delicate dotted accents tracing the shoulders, armholes, and neckline. These decorative lines are created using an easy slipped stitch technique. Though they resemble stranded colorwork, the pattern is achieved using just one color at a time.

The sweater is crafted seamlessly from the top down. You begin by casting on stitches for the shoulders, which are worked flat until the underarm. The front and back sections are then joined and continued in the round to shape the body.

To ensure a comfortable and flattering fit, short rows are incorporated into the front, back, and sleeves.

Length: 56 (56) 57 (58) 59 (60) 61 (62) cm
Sleeve length: 47 (47) 47 (47) 47 (47) 47 (47) cm

How much positive ease you like in your clothes varies from person to person. Measuring some of your favorite sweaters can help you choose the perfect size.
The length of the sleeves depends on your height and how much positive ease you choose for your sweater. A rule of thumb is that the bigger the positive ease is, the shorter the sleeves ought to be.

The positive ease and sleeve length of my versions of the MONO SWEATER are as follows:
Version 1: 44 cm positive ease, sleeve length 46 cm.
Version 2: 33 cm positive ease, sleeve length 52 cm.

Needles: Circular needles
4 mm (40 and 80/120 cm)
5 mm (40 and 80/120 cm)

Gauge: 18 sts × 24 rows in stockinette stitch on a 5 mm needle = 10 × 10 cm
The yarns which I used for the MONO SWEATER tend to stretch after washing.
My gauge before washing was 19 stitches and after washing the stated 18 stitches.
