Lacy Sleeve Sweater Knitting Pattern
A contemporary oversized sweater featuring dramatic lace sleeves paired with a simple stocking stitch body for a striking contrast in texture. The relaxed silhouette and dropped shoulders create an effortlessly stylish garment, while the open lace sleeves add a light, feminine touch.
Worked flat in separate front, back and sleeve pieces, the body is knitted in smooth stocking stitch with minimal shaping for an easy fit. The statement sleeves are created using a repeating lace pattern, before all pieces are seamed together to complete this modern design.
Photographed in Crucci Natural Wonder, a super chunky yarn that creates a soft, lofty fabric with quick knitting and beautiful texture.
