Knitting Pattern: Stylish Chunky Sweater

Sizes Available:

Finished bust measurements: XS (S, M, L, XL, XXL) = 102 (112, 122, 132, 142, 152) cm. The sample sweater is designed in size S and is modeled on a 5’ / 152 cm tall individual showcasing 12½” / 32 cm of positive ease at the bust, making it perfect for a comfortable fit.

Pattern Notes:

This cozy sweater is expertly knitted flat from the top down and seamlessly transitions from the bottom up, beginning in the round. Upon reaching the armholes, the construction splits to work the front and back separately in a flat format. The shoulders are effortlessly joined using the Three-Needle Bind-Off technique, ensuring a sturdy yet smooth finish. To complete the design, the neck is picked up and finished in the round, providing a polished look. The sleeves are knitted separately and flat, then grafted together before attaching them to the body of the sweater, creating a refined finish that enhances both comfort and style.
