Pocket Sweater is a basic drop shoulder pullover. It is designed with a roomy fit and it is so comfy that you won’t want to take it off. The pattern includes a patch pocket version and an integrated pocket version that requires little finishing. You can also work it without the pocket, giving you a total of three different options.
This sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down. The shoulders are shaped with simple increases and no short rows are used. The pattern includes photos and video tutorials on how to seam the patch pocket.
Pocket Sweater is graded with inclusive sizing in mind, designed to fit actual bust sizes from 76 cm / 30 inches to 168 cm / 66 inches. Measurements are given in both cm and inches.

How to choose your size: Measure a sweater in a similar style in your closet or add the amount of desired ease to your actual bust measurement, pick the size closest to that number.
