Just be Happy Sweater is knitted from the top down on 4 mm needles with 2 threads held together.It is a classic raglan model, with a raised neck, and a little extra room for the breasts and arms.It has a cropped fit, but can of course be extended if needed.It has ribbed edges, where you can both cast on and bind off with Italian bind off. If you want to pimp your knitting with beautiful smileys, I have a guide at the end of the pattern on how to embroider with mesh stitches on your finished sweater.
