BLOBFISH SWEATER
This sweater features a central blobfish motif designed by my friend (@darkdiam0nd on IG).
I mirrored the shape of this sweater after some of my favorite oversized sweatshirts for a comfy and relaxed fit. No blobfish were harmed in the making of this sweater or pattern.

NOTE: This sweater has not been test knitted. The first 2 knitters of each size who create a finished project page will receive a coupon code for future designs.

The body of the sweater is knit bottom-up flat in pieces. After shoulders and sides are seamed, stitches are picked up for the sleeves which are then worked in the round.
Shoulder shaping uses german short rows, but your favorite short row method can be substituted. Edging can also be easily substituted with desired cast-on/bind-off.
