My hybrid sweater

My hybrid sweater has 2 faces. One is as a simple sweater and the other is as a poncho with the sleeve slit. I love wearing poncho but I didn’t like the body climbs up when moving arms. So here’s the solution. This pattern is worked from the top down and worked in the round for the body. When we work the rest of the sleeves after dividing body and sleeves, we work flat adding some stitches for the button bands. You can close all the buttons to wear as a sweater, open them to wear as a poncho, partial open to avoid the cold wind, etc.
