Momo
When I first designed the Little Momo sweater, my focus was on creating a delightful piece for children. However, as I delved deeper into the design process, my inspiration evolved, and I decided to upsize this charming raglan sweater for adults as well. By making a few thoughtful modifications—such as adjusting the sleeve and body lengths and eliminating the buttons—I was able to craft a knitwear staple that appeals to knitters of all ages. The addition of beautiful cable patterns adds not only texture but also a classic elegance to the overall shape of the garment.
Sizes Available: 33 [35, 38, 40, 43.5, 48] inches. The model is wearing the sweater with 0-0.5 negative ease for a snug fit. For those seeking an even more tailored look, consider adding 1-2 inches of negative ease. It's also crucial to obtain a washed and blocked gauge for the best results.
