Frequently Asked Questions
Is Cloud Sweater built with a conventional raglan yoke?
No. Short rows shape the back yoke and shoulders, then the front and back are joined at the underarms. Sleeves are picked up around the armholes, and the funnel neck is added last.
Does every Cloud Sweater size have 25 cm of positive ease?
No. PetiteKnit specifies approximately 25 cm in the smaller sizes, with gradually less ease in the larger sizes. Compare your own bust with the finished measurements for the size you are considering.
