DESIGN IDEA
This is a pattern for a slouchy and comfy sweater with a wide neck and modern balloon sleeves.
It is knitted top down in one piece and can be worn two ways - on the right and on the wrong side:
-with „bubble sleeves“ and a purl stitch body or
-with „wave sleeves“ and a stockinette stitch body.
Decide which side/style you prefer!

SKILL LEVEL
Intermediate.
You should know how to cast on, knit, purl, yarn over, purl multiple times in one and the same stitch and how to knit multiple stitches together.
Additionally you should know how to put sleeve sts on hold on waste yarn and how to cast on stitches under the arms.

PATTERN
The pattern consists of written row-by-row instructions.
Additionally there is a chart for a wholistic understanding of the bubble stitch pattern.
By purchasing the pattern you’ll get 4 PDF files - a separate PDF with instructions for each size (XS-S-M-L)

AVAILABLE SIZES

Adults S = bust circumference 94cm/37´´
Adults M = bust circumference 104cm/41´´
Adults L = bust circumference 114cm/45´´
Please note - Sleeve length and body length can be customized. Since this is a raglan pattern, I always recommend to do a fitting while knitting the sweater. This way you will be able to adjust the width and length to your individual size.

YARN & YARDAGE
Aran or Bulky weight yarn:
Adults XS 700-900m/766-985yards
Adults S 800-1000m/875-1094yards
Adults M 900-1100m/985-1200yards
Adults L 1000-1200m/1095-1310yards
Yardage can vary depending on yarn and individually preferred length of sleeves/body. Due to the pattern stitch the sleeves can get quite heavy. Hence I would recommend using yarn which holds its form. (e.g. mix with Acrylic)

MATERIALS
-6mm/6.5mm/7mm (US10/US 10.5/US11) circular needles for neck, body and sleeves; double pointed needles for cuffs (or other sizes to obtain the gauge)
-9 markers (1x to mark the end of rounds; 8x to mark the raglan lines)
-tapestry needle, scissors

GAUGE
