Make a Sweater Worth Reaching For Every Season You've probably eyed sweaters like this in shops and walked away. Now you can make one yourself, in the exact fit, colorway, and version that suits you. This pattern gives you two garments in one: a full long-sleeve sweater and a sleeveless slipover. Both are seamlessly constructed top-down in stockinette, so there are no pieces to seam together at the end. You get a clean finish without the guesswork. Skill Level: Intermediate Finished Size: 10 sizes available. Finished chest circumference: 42.5" to 74.5" (106.5–186.5 cm). Designed with 10.5"–14.5" of positive ease at the chest. Two garments, one purchase. The pattern includes full instructions for both the sweater and the slipover version, so you choose which to make or make both. Fit is built in, not an afterthought. Larger sizes include tapered sleeves to reduce bulk at the elbow and cuffs, and optional short-row shaping gives the sleeve cap a smoother, better-fitting slope. Body and sleeve length are fully adjustable. The pattern walks you through how to adjust total length around the stripe placement, so you can customize without second-guessing the math. "Finally a sweater I actually want to wear. The stripes make it feel put-together without trying."
