Knitting pattern for Green-day sweater

The Green-Day sweater is a cropped knit featuring a wide V-neck and short 3/4 balloon sleeves. Designed with an extra-wide bust circumference, it’s ideal for cooler summer days. The V-neck, hem, and cuffs are all worked in twisted rib stitch and seamlessly integrated into the sweater - no additional finishing needed. The sleeves have a distinct balloon shape and are intentionally short. The design uses two wide bands of different colours, which overlap to form a third shade. The Green-Day sweater pairs perfectly with high-waisted jeans, trousers, or shorts. Comfortable and easy to wear, it's a great choice for relaxing at home.

This pattern includes two sleeve options and two hem variations. If you choose to knit the version with long tapered sleeves, you will need to purchase two additional balls of yarn in that color.
