September Sweater
September Sweater is worked from the top down and can be made in both women’s and men’s versions. The women’s version has longer cuffs on the sleeves and a shorter overall fit. The men’s version is longer, with tighter sleeves and shorter cuffs.
Note: The stitch count is the same for both versions, and raglan increases are worked the same way. Both versions can be made with either a high or low neck, but in the pattern, the high neck corresponds to the women’s version and the low neck to the men’s version.

NOTE! Remember that everyone knits differently, test on a swatch to measure your knitting tension. If you knit a little loosely, it may be okay to go down half/one needle size. If you knit a little tightly, you can go up half/one needle size.
