PDF Crochet pattern for the stash busting Kit n Caboodle Sweater. Pattern is in English by default, but is available in Swedish upon request. It's made seamlessly top down, worked in the round but in opposite directions, so at the end of every row you slip stitch to join then turn as you would a flat piece becuase honestly it's easier that way. In terms of difficulty I'd say it's a 3 out of 5, maybe 2,5.
