Iris Cropped Sweater
Introducing our beautifully designed knitting pattern, crafted specifically for those with a bust size of 30” to 62” and written with 1" of negative ease for the perfect fit. This inclusive pattern accommodates a variety of sizes: 30”, 34”, 38”, 42”, 46”, 50”, 54”, 58”, and 62”.
To bring your creation to life, approximate yarn requirements are as follows: you will need 3 skeins for sizes XS and S, 4 skeins for sizes M and L, 5 skeins for XL and 2X, 6 skeins for sizes 3X and 4X, and 7 skeins for size 5X, all using Knit Picks Mighty Stitch Bulky yarn. Alternatively, if you choose to use another size 5 Bulky weight yarn, expect to gather approximately 400 yards for smaller sizes, increasing to 900 yards for the largest sizes.
Please note that while I only managed to gather testers for sizes up to 2X, I'm excited to extend an invitation for those interested in testing or knitting patterns in sizes 3X through 5X. Reach out to me directly via DM, and I’ll be happy to provide the pattern for free in exchange for your feedback.
To ensure an even more customized fit, I've included alternate instructions specifically for 2X and larger sizes to help you pick up fewer stitches if you prefer a less snug fit. This design encourages you to try on the garment as you knit, allowing for minor adjustments that ensure your final piece drapes beautifully and feels comfortable.
Whether you’re a seasoned knitter or a newcomer eager to enhance your skills, this pattern is designed to inspire and facilitate your creative journey. Enjoy crafting a cozy, stylish piece that flatters a wide range of body types!
