DESIGN OVERVIEW: This beautiful oversized sweater is knitted using elegant lacy stitches in soft linen yarn. It features a trendy dropped shoulder design, a deep V-neck, and a boxy silhouette that provides both comfort and style. With a recommended positive ease of approximately 10-20 cm (or 4-8 inches), this garment is perfect for layering and adds a touch of coziness to any outfit. The front, back, and sleeves of the sweater are knitted separately from the bottom up on straight needles. Once the shoulder seams are expertly closed, the stitches are effortlessly picked up for the neck finishing, and the neck band is crafted on circular needles for a seamless look.

YARN WEIGHT: This pattern calls for a Sport/5-ply yarn, but the desired gauge can also be achieved using 4-ply/fingering yarn for those who prefer a lighter weight option. YARN LENGTH: You will need 284 yards (260 meters) in a 50-gram skein to complete this project.

GAUGE: To ensure your handmade sweater turns out perfectly, achieve a gauge of 22 stitches and 36 rows = 4 inches (10 cm) in the lacy stitch pattern using a US 2½ (3.0 mm) needle. This meticulous attention to gauge will help you create a beautifully fitted oversized sweater that enhances your wardrobe.

This knitting pattern is ideal for knitters of all skill levels looking to create a fashionable yet comfortable piece. Whether you're making it for yourself or as a thoughtful gift, this oversized sweater is sure to become a beloved addition to anyone's collection.
