Bayview Sweater
About
The #SizeInclusive Bayview Sweater is a light and airy pullover with oversized sleeves and a relaxed fit, written in eleven sizes. Featuring a drop-shoulder construction and statement ribbing on the sleeve cuffs, hem, and neckline, the charmingly playful Bayview Sweater is a fun knit that requires no seaming. Knit with a bulky weight yarn with a hazy, blown construction, this seemingly-weightless pullover knits up in no time and feels light as a feather, adding a touch of texture to your cold-weather layering without overheating you. The breathability of Knit Picks Wonderfluff makes the Bayview Sweater the perfect layering piece to sport year-round, suitable for the coldest winter days or cool summer nights. The wide sleeves and relaxed fit of the body create a casual silhouette, while a few simple short rows in the shoulders improve the fit for a more polished look.
Pair it effortlessly with jeans or try styling over a white collared shirt for a business-casual look.

Similar Yarn Substitutes: Drops Air, Lion Brand LB Collection Chainette, Hobbii Divina
Substitute Wonderfluff with a similar bulky weight, category #5 yarn with a blown construction. This type of construction creates a very light and airy yarn with a halo. For a finished sweater similar to the one shown, choose a yarn with similar properties, being mindful of the weight and yardage per skein.
You may also be able to match gauge with a worsted/aran weight yarn, or even a worsted held double with a lace-weight mohair.
Needles Required:
Main Gauge Needle - Size U.S. 11 (8 mm) or size needed to obtain gauge with the following recommended cord lengths:
- 24” or 32” (60-82 cm) cord for body or cord long enough to accommodate all sts
- 16” (40 cm) cord for majority of sleeves
- DPNs (double pointed needles), or your preferred method of smaller circumference knitting for the lower sleeve. You can also use the magic loop method to complete the sleeves using a longer cord length, if preferred.
Ribbing Needle - Size U.S. 10 ½ (6.5 mm) or size that is 1.5 mm smaller than main gauge needle, with the following recommended cord lengths:
- 24” (60 cm) cord for body or cord long enough to accommodate all sts
- 16” (40 cm) cord for neckline ribbing
- DPNs (double pointed needles), or your preferred method of smaller circumference knitting for the sleeve cuffs. You can also use the magic loop method with longer cord, if preferred.
Notions: Tapestry needle, stitch marker to mark BOR, scrap yarn for placing work on hold (I recommend using a contrasting color), an additional needle (of similar size) for 3 needle bind-off
Skills required: placing sections of work on hold to pick up later, wrap and turn (video linked), 3-needle bind-off (video linked), picking up stitches around the neckline, picking up stitches at the sleeve opening.
