Difficulty
This pattern is rated intermediate. The Bitterroot Sweater is constructed using a unique stitch pattern that requires working into the front and back posts of stitches. A picture tutorial is provided to clarify any difficult steps. The front, back, and sleeves of the sweater are worked flat as individual pieces and then seamed together. Crochet ribbing detail is then added to complete the sweater.
