Mrs. Robinson

If you're a fan of classic cinema, you’ve likely heard of the iconic movie *The Graduate*, and the unforgettable song ["Mrs. Robinson".][1] Inspired by this pop culture gem, our Mrs. Robinson sweater is a cozy cotton-mix bulky knit, perfect for those chilly spring evenings. Constructed using 1 to 5 strands of cotton, this design creates a unique bulky yarn that transitions beautifully from a deep black at the bottom to a soft, almost white hue at the top. The sweater is adorned with big, complex cables, adding texture and visual interest against a backdrop of reverse stockinette. With its modern oversized shape, luxurious turtleneck, and stylish split sides, this comfy, embraceable sweater is not only a great way to showcase your knitting skills but also ideal for using up your yarn remnants.

Sizes: XS (S, M, L, XL, 2X) (72/76, 80/86, 91/96, 102/106, 111/116, 121/126) cm (28/30, 32/34, 36/38, 40/42, 44/46, 48/50)" bust circumference. The finished measurements for the armpit (laid flat) are 50 (55, 60, 65, 70, 75) cm (20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30)" with a generous 20 cm/8" ease for comfort. The finished length of the sweater measures 60 (63, 65, 70, 75, 80) cm (24, 25, 26, 28, 30, 32)". Our sample garment features a model who stands at 1.80m/5'11", wearing a size S while showcasing the medium fit.

This sweater pattern is designed for bulky yarn, allowing you the flexibility to either use pre-made bulky yarns or combine 1 to 3 thinner yarns to achieve your desired bulky effect. For the best results, we recommend using fingering weight yarns in combinations, just like in our sample sweater. Whether you’re an advanced knitter or a passionate beginner, creating your very own Mrs. Robinson sweater promises to be a fulfilling project that fuses comfort, style, and creativity. Say goodbye to chilly evenings and embrace warmth and fashion in your new favorite knit!
