Claudia Sweater

The Claudia Sweater is a beautifully oversized drop-shoulder design, featuring contrasting sleeves and a stylish collar that highlights feminine twisted rib details. This sweater is meticulously crafted for those who appreciate a loose and comfortable fit, boasting ample positive ease for maximum wearability. With its innovative top-down construction, this pattern allows you to customize the length of your sweater to suit your personal style perfectly, while the deep crewneck offers a romantic touch that elevates this essential wardrobe piece. Whether you opt for contrasting shades of luxurious mohair or stick to a single hue, the Claudia Sweater is destined to be a cozy and timeless addition to any knitting enthusiast's collection.

This versatile pattern is designed to be worn with between 20 and 30cm / approximately 8 - 12” of positive ease, allowing for the freedom to choose your own fit. To ensure the best results, it’s important to measure yourself before casting on to determine the perfect size for your unique shape. For instance, if your bust measurement is 90cm and you desire 30cm of ease, you would select size 3, resulting in a total bust size of 120cm. If you prefer a more snug fit, simply size down; conversely, if you favor a more oversized look, go up in size. The model, showcasing this delightful pattern, is wearing size 3 and has a bust measurement of 91cm / 35.5”. Her height is 172cm / 5 ft 6, offering a great visual reference for knitters. Remember, a gauge swatch is essential to ensure your finished Claudia Sweater fits perfectly. With this pattern, you’ll enjoy the process of creating a sweater that is not only stylish but also incredibly comfortable, making it the ideal choice for layering during chilly seasons.
