It's definitely sweater weather, so I am sure you'll enjoy wearing the new Sandrine, a top to definitely feel cozy in. It's a raglan, so it's knitted top down and all in one piece with our colorful Voluming skeins. The aran weight yarn and bigger needle make the sweater grow quickly, so you can wear it sooner rather than later.
Orders over $30 ship free through December 24th.
The fit is oversized, feels wonderfully comfortable and has full sleeves. The neckline, bottom edge of body and sleeves are ribbed.
For sizes ranging from S-34/36/38”, M-40/42/44”, L- 46/48/50” with a positive ease of 13" to 20" worked into the pattern which of course depends on you getting the suggested gauge. So make a swatch to see if you need to go up or down a needle size or even two.
The pattern was test knitted and is fully written and offers a measuring chart to select your size. You get to try on your sweater at several places to make sure the fit will be right for you.
