Contrasting Wrap Sweater
Introducing the Contrasting Wrap Sweater, the ultimate cozy and stylish addition to your winter wardrobe! This luscious sweater is designed for comfort and warmth, making it the perfect piece to wear all winter long. With its eye-catching contrasting stripes, this design offers just enough visual interest to keep your knitting project engaging and fun. The flattering A-line shape is designed to complement a variety of body shapes and sizes, ensuring that it can be enjoyed by everyone.
The construction of the Contrasting Wrap Sweater is both unique and convenient. The body of the sweater is meticulously knit in one continuous piece up to the armholes, allowing for seamless knitting and reducing the need for cumbersome seaming. After reaching the armholes, the pieces are elegantly rejoined at the shoulders to create the stylish collar. The sleeves are professionally knit flat and then expertly sewn onto the body for a polished finish. This method not only enhances the overall durability of the sweater but also contributes to a neat and tidy design.
Finished Size: The sweater is available in a variety of sizes, with a shoulder measurement of 14 (15½, 16½, 17, 17½, 17½) inches and a bust measurement of 32 (36, 40, 44, 48, 52) inches. Note that the fronts of this wrap sweater overlap, meaning there is no exact bust measurement; the figures provided represent double the back measurement underneath the arms. Kindly choose your size based on both measurements for the best fit. The cardigan in the image measures 14 inches and is modeled with a comfortable amount of ease.
