Step into spring with Vivrelle, a sweater that radiates femininity, energy, and charm. Designed to be both a statement piece and a versatile addition to your wardrobe, Vivrelle combines delicate details with bold character.

My sample is made with a longer yoke and 3/4-length sleeves for a modern, breezy look. However, the pattern also includes instructions for a 4 cm/1.75” shorter yoke should you prefer this option, and thanks to its top-down construction, Vivrelle is easily adaptable, allowing you to modify the length of the body and sleeves to create a piece that’s truly your own.

The ease across sizes is 5-6 cm/2-2.25” The picture shows size 3 with 5 cm/2” of positive ease.
