Knit Along: Tweed Sweater for Him Without a Pattern

My husband and I were watching one of the Stargate movies, and in one scene (literally just a few seconds long) he saw this tweed sweater the sailors were wearing and said he wanted me to knit it for him. So I did:)

There’s no pattern, I did all my own calculations.
I don’t have patience to do everything upfront, so I calculate as I go, one step at a time (sleeves, neckline, back, and front).

If your gauge is 23 stitches and 34 rows in 10 cm and you want to knit the exact same size L sweater, you can just follow along and skip the calculations. If your size or yarn is different, you can see how I do my calculations and adjust with your own numbers while knitting along.
