Modification and adjustment:
This sweater is made using raglan style where you assemble 2 identical sleeve and 2 identical body together.
If you don't want a heavy and bulky sweater dress, you can use a lighter yarn weight and just follow the steps and use the size measurement above as your guidelines to know how many rows you need to make to get the desired size.
You can also modify this pattern using any stitch you want instead of using extended single crochet and single crochet as the main stitch for your sweater.
