Lanie Sweater

Introducing the Lanie Cozy Oversized Sweater, the ultimate blend of style and comfort designed for your knitting adventures. This stunning oversized sweater features a fashionable large collar and a trendy stair-step hem, adding a delightful swing to your silhouette. Whether you’re dressing up or down, this chic and stylish piece pairs beautifully with both trousers and skirts for any occasion.

The design of the Lanie sweater allows for versatile wearing options. Style the fronts folded and open, embellish with a pin for a touch of flair, or fully unfold the collar for maximum coziness that keeps you snug at your neck. This sweater isn’t just a garment; it’s an experience in warmth and elegance.

Available in sizes XXS (XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL), this sweater is crafted to fit with 2-4”/5-10cm of positive ease. For those who prefer a more fitted look, consider knitting one size down, keeping in mind that this may alter how the fronts meet. The finished bust measurements with the collar folded are as follows: 32 (34, 36, 40, 44, 48, 52)”/81 (86.5, 91.5, 101.5, 112, 122, 132) cm, while the comfortable length ranges from 22 (23, 23, 23, 23, 24, 24)”/56 (58.5, 58.5, 58.5, 58.5, 61, 61) cm.

For your knitting project, you will need 3 (4, 4, 4, 5, 6, 7) skeins of Cascade Yarns Aereo (240 yds/220 m, 100 g/3.5 oz), a luxurious blend of 47% merino wool, 31% baby alpaca, and 22% nylon. This pattern showcases the yarn in the beautiful shade of 07 Mocha Heather. Note: This is a lofty, air-blown yarn. If you choose to substitute, ensure that you select an aran or bulky weight yarn that will meet the specified gauge to achieve the desired look.

For optimal knitting, you will require US 8 (5 mm) needles, ideally with a 32”/80 cm or longer circular needle, along with double-point needles, or adjust accordingly to obtain the correct gauge. Achieving a gauge of 15 stitches and 22 rows = 4”/10 cm in stockinette stitch is essential for the perfect fit.
