You know how sometimes
you have a ball of yarn in your hand
and your fingers just itch to cast on?
This sweater allows you to do just that.
Whatever size you want to make
(small child to adult),
and whatever the grist of the yarn in your hand
(lace weight, bulky, hand or mill spun),
it begins with one stitch
and increases from there.
In other words --
hours of garter stitch pleasure
 and no gauge watch necessary
​ (at least to start).
About half way through
there are a few 
calculations to do.
But no need to stew.
The formulas provided
will help to make sure
your sweater
fits you.


Update -- Hoodie!
I'm so excited-- my awesome and inventive friend Vicki
 just designed a hood for the Somewhat Slanted
and is sharing the free instructions on her Ravelry page
As with everything about this sweater,
it is perfectly adjustable to your yarn and gauge --
and OH my is it cozy and fun to wear.
While you're there, be sure to admire her armpit racing stripes --
a super fun way to add a surprise dash of color
while knitting together the side seams.
