Bubblegum Sweater
Details of this sweater are printed in the book Knit This! 21 Gorgeous Everyday Knitting Patterns:
“The Bubblegum sweater is worked top down on 8mm (US11) needles holding together one strand of merino wool and two strands of mohair silk, which makes it incredibly soft and really quick to knit. Along with the play-full, all-over bobble pattern, the loose and relaxed fit and voluminous balloon-shaped sleeves give the sweater a contemporary look.“
Finished garment measurements:
Bust: 111 (118) 129 (136.5) 140 (147.5) cm / 44.25 (47.25) 51.75 (54.5) 56 (59)”.
“Choose the size that is 10-30 cm / 4-11.75” bigger than your bust circumference. The fit of this sweater is quite oversized with a lot of positive ease, so for a tighter fit I recommend going down one size.”
