Introducing our classic tweed sweater with a stylish twist - a cozy, knitted garment designed to keep you warm and fashionable all winter long. This beautifully crafted sweater features a flattering slim silhouette, enhanced by elegant vertical decorative seams that run gracefully down the body and the top of the sleeves. The standout twist lies in the contrasting edges, skillfully worked in a lace weight yarn. These unique elements add just the right amount of visual interest, elevating this casual wear sweater into a stunning piece with a touch of sophistication.
This sweater is expertly knitted using the innovative contiguous sleeve method developed by Susie Myers, allowing the garment to be created in one seamless piece from the top down. This technique not only offers an enjoyable knitting experience but also enables you to try the sweater on as you knit, ensuring a perfect fit tailored just for you.
Crafted to accommodate a wide range of body types, this sweater is designed to flatter small, medium, and larger sizes. Extensive waist shaping is incorporated into the small and medium sizes (32-38), while moderate waist shaping is used for larger sizes (40-46). For those needing sizes 48 and above, the sweater elegantly transitions to an A-line silhouette, providing a comfortable and stylish fit.
The pattern sample showcases moderate waist shaping along with 4 inches of positive ease, ensuring a relaxed and comfortable wear. This versatile tweed sweater is perfect for layering during colder months or as a standout piece for casual outings.
The sample uses high-quality Briggs & Little Heritage yarn combined with the soft warmth of Isaga Strik Alpaca 1. If you’re looking for alternatives, we’ve listed some fantastic substitute yarn options below that will create equally stunning results.
Whether you’re a seasoned knitter or a passionate beginner, this flattering sweater pattern is perfect for adding a touch of handmade elegance to your winter wardrobe.
