This pattern is part of the 2-piece set Summer Stripes with interchangeable sweater features between Meebles & Katy Lin! Each design easily stands alone with a huge variety of included options, but they are even better when purchased together so that you can pull elements from both sweaters to create your own dream lightweight sweater. Multiple video tutorials are also included within the pattern for easy access to related fit and construction content. Check out the Summer Stripes Test Crew here.

Styled detail sets this top-down seamless pullover apart. Poofed sleeves & a keyhole neckline alongside adorable stripes make this top-down, seamless raglan-style knit both fun and unique. Choose a cropped or longer length sweater, short or long sleeves if you’d like, you can even sway out the poof sleeves with the classic shape from the Katy Lin cardigan, as these two sweaters were constructed with interchangeable options. Optional waist shaping is also provided for both lengths & a series of linked tutorials make this design extra accessible.

SIZING

15 sizes are provided in this design so that you can get an excellent fit. Sweater is shown in Size 3 fitted with negative ease at the chest; model’s chest is 1”/2.5 cm larger than finished garment. Choose the size that is closest to your full chest measurement for a similar fit, even if slightly smaller. Because of the dimensional poof sleeves, more than 3”/7.5 cm positive ease is not recommended.

INCLUDED OPTIONS

This design includes options for:

• short and long sleeves
• cropped body or longer length
• optional waist shaping
• yardage for either a solid or striped sweater

Poof-sleeves in this design can be interchanged with the standard sleeves in the related Katy Lin cardigan pattern should you want a more classic look as these two patterns were created with the same gauge and construction so that design elements from either sweater can be utilized.

EXPERIENCE

This is an adventurous beginner/intermediate level knit. Knitters should be comfortable with increasing and decreasing and picking up stitches. Many video tutorials are available to help newer knitters from sizing to demonstrating both separating sleeves from body and the cable cast-on and more. Swift increasing takes places at the top of the Sleeves and and an i-cord is used in combination with the neckline bind-off to create the back buttonhole. Instructions for i-cord bind-off, optional Tubular Hems (shown on sample) & replacing provisional cast-on with standard cast-on are provided.
