Hi, I am so excited to present the Cannelle Sweater! It is a lovely, oversized sweater with pockets that is great for the upcoming fall. I knew at once that I wanted to design something cozy and nice for you. I LOVE pockets so that was an essential and these invisible pockets make for interesting details. Made in the suzette stitch, the sweater has a nice texture. My inspiration was to make something that’s perfect to wear at home or out and about, so you get as much use out of it as possible. Pair it with jeans and boots and you’ve got a lovely outfit for a day around town.

The name Cannelle means cinnamon in French and matches, of course, the colour of the sweater but refers to my inspiration for it. When I think of autumn, my first thoughts are usually the beautiful scenery of trees with leaves in different shades of orange and the Eiffel Tower in the background. I haven’t been to Paris in autumn, but somehow that’s a picture I can’t get off my mind. For me autumn also means a lot of apple and apple pies, and with that cinnamon!

Without further ado, let’s make a cozy sweater that gives all the autumn feelings!

Notes

This pattern is written in nine sizes: XS (S, M, L, 1X) (2X, 3X, 4X, 5X)

The sweater is worked in four pieces: front, back and 2 sleeves. These are sewn together to make up the sweater.

Each piece is worked flat in rows and from bottom up.

The sweater is made using the suzette stitch as the main stitch. The suzette stitch is also known as the grit stitch.

The ch 1 in the beginning of the row of the suzette stitch counts as a stitch. The ch 2 as part of the ribbing does not count as a stitch.

Pro Tip! Leave a long tail before you chain so you can use it to sew the sides of the sweater and sleeves.
