A “Meet Cute” is a term for the moment in a romantic comedy where the leads first meet--think Bridget Jones and Mark Darcy being thrown together in their ugly Christmas jumpers. This pullover reminds me of the warm and cozy feeling of my favorite romcoms. Specifically, it has that plush, lived-in feeling of the knitwear in those classic Nora Ephron movies that are forever my Sweater Goals.

Knit from the top-down with a raglan construction, the Meet Cute Pullover is a timeless design with some playful details that set it apart, including a deep, dramatic henley neckline and a fun puff raglan stitch that highlights the squishy half-fisherman’s rib pattern on the body.

Sizes

1 (2) 3 (4) 5 (6) 7 (8) 9

Each size corresponds to a finished bust circumference of 102.5 (110.25) 120.5 (128.25) 138.75 (149) 159.25 (169.75) 180cm or 41 (44) 48.25 (51.25) 55.5 (59.5) 63.75 (67.75) 72in.

Note on choosing a size: I recommend 25-35cm or 10-14 inches positive ease with this garment, so the above listed sizes are designed to fit an actual bust measurement of around 73.5 (83.5) 94 (104) 114.5 (124.5) 134.5 (144.5) 155cm or 29 (33) 37 (41) 45 (49) 53 (57) 61 inches. This means that if your bust measures 94cm/37in, you should choose Size 3, which measures 120.5cm/48.25in which will have 26.5cm/11.25in of positive ease. For finished measurements, see the chart on Pages 32 and 33.

Gauge
15.5 stitches x 24 rows per 10cm/4in in half-fisherman’s rib, on 5.5mm (US 9) needles, or size required to meet gauge, blocked. Note: when knitting half-fisherman’s rib, you are knitting into the row below on half your stitches, so your row count will appear cut in half.
