The KNIT SAFARI Seed Bubble Sweater was one of the earliest chunky knitting patterns designed and knitted by Tiam, and was designed to be a modern, chunky oversized knit without big bulky seams. Perfect for throwing on when the temperature drops, the Seed Bubble looks equally great with jeans, or french tucked into a pleated midi skirt. And the bonus? It now includes the Youth and Baby knitting pattern, so you and your mini-me can twin in your DIY knitted sweaters! The Seed Bubble Sweater is knitted seamlessly in the round bottom-up, from the hem to the underarms. The sleeves are worked seamlessly in the round (two-at-a-time on one circular knitting needle if you're ready for the challenge!), and then joined to the body with raglan decreases working the upper yoke, with a neckline worked in the round to finish the knitted jumper. FIT: The Seed Bubble sweater is an oversized fit, with a comfy baggy body and oversized balloon sleeves. You may wish to knit a smaller size for a closer fit.The adult model is a UK size 10 and is wearing the Seed Bubble Sweater in size medium. The baby model is wearing a size 3M.
