Storm Warning - Sisu Patterns
This sweater is knit from the top down (the bottom up version is called Frost Warning). This would be a good beginner top down sweater, since the patterning is minimal and besides short rows, there are no unusual techniques. The sleeves are picked up and worked down. Short rows are worked across the back, below the armhole. This helps the sweater hang even.
