Sløjfefin Sweater (EN)

Sløjfefin Sweater is a feminine and luxurious blouse that combines elegance with a playful and unique expression. With its distinctive bows adorning the entire front and airy puff sleeves, this sweater is perfect for the fashion-conscious knitter who wants to create an exclusive and sophisticated garment with a creative twist. The bows add an extra detail that makes the sweater both eye-catching and charming—and they are also fun and engaging to knit.

The sweater is worked from the top down, allowing easy adjustments to length and fit as you go. The yoke is constructed in two phases—first with increases on every round, then with classic raglan increases that ensure a beautifully shaped upper body. The sleeves gain volume through the use of invisible increases and traditional methods, creating the elegant puffed sleeve look.

This design is intended to be knit with two strands held together of the silky-soft and lightweight Kid Seta by Gepard Garn, composed of 70% Super Kid Mohair and 30% Shappe Silk. The yarn gives the sweater an airy yet luxurious finish. Yarn consumption varies from 200 grams for size XS to 350 grams for size XL, and with a yardage of 210 meters per 25 grams, you achieve a delicate yet full-bodied result.

The sweater is worked on 4 mm circular needles for stockinette stitch and 3 mm needles for the ribbed edges, with the sleeve cuffs finished on double-pointed needles in the same size. The gauge is 19 stitches x 28 rows = 10 x 10 cm in stockinette stitch, and making a swatch is always recommended to ensure proper fit.

The pattern is available in sizes XS to XL, with a bust circumference ranging from 106 to 134 cm, body length from 54 to 60 cm, and sleeve length from 42 to 51 cm, making it a versatile fit for a variety of body types.

The bows are worked in repeats with 21 stitches between each, creating a lively and elegant front pattern. They are staggered for a harmonious and symmetrical effect. The pattern includes both a video tutorial and written instructions for bow construction, along with techniques like Italian bind-off and invisible increases—ideal for knitters who want to expand their technical skills while creating something beautiful.

All in all, Sløjfefin Sweater is the perfect blend of comfort, style, and technique—a new favorite in the wardrobe for both seasoned and adventurous knitters alike!
