I know you’re supposed to write something clever here, or witty, or even inspiring, but I just don’t ever know what to write when describing my designs so that it doesn’t sound like a food blogger trying to use every SEO/Keyword possible. So here is, a possible rough draft of, my Cozy Batwing Sweater. Why am I saying rough draft? Well, I am 99% sure this was tested, but I also don’t have access to that email anymore, so I can’t find my notes, but I *THINK* I updated it properly. This is on my “Make this in 2023 please” list, so if it needs updating I will be sure to flag that.

Pattern Notes
- Please read all notes and directions before starting the pattern.
- Chain stitches at the beginning of each round do not count as a stitch.
- I do a ch 1 instead of a ch 2 at the beginning of each row/round with a hdc because I prefer that look better. You can do a ch 2 if that works better for you, but still do not count it.
- Stitch count for each round will be at the end in ()
- *Stitch count written xs/sm (med/lg, xl/2xl, 3xl/4xl)
- *This sweater is worked from the bottom up
- *Due to this sweater being a batwing sweater, measure at your hips and create your sweater based on that size. Example:If you measure 40 inches at your hips – make this in the medium/large size.
