DESCRIPTION
There truly is something sultry about an off the shoulder sweater. Slightly playful, but still classic as ever. In this design, I’ve taken basic stitches but oomphed up their wow factor with simple stockinette and elongated ribbing in sections to give it a feminine touch. Knit top-down and in the round in a yoke fashion, the Cold Shoulder Pullover is designed with either 1 inch of positive ease, or 1 inch of negative ease (depending on your bust measurement) and does include waist and hip shaping. Worried about slippage? Don’t. The collar is picked up last and has a sewn in elastic to make sure it stays in place. With long sleeves and a long hem to cover your bum, this sweater is perfect for pairing with a set of tights.

Knit top down, in the round, and seamless, this pattern is written in nine sizes – XS (S, M, L, XL), (2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL). It is suggested that you highlight your size, so you know which stitch count to follow. For reference, the model pictured is wearing the size M and is 5’7”, 143 pounds and has a bust of 36.5” in circumference

How to choose your size: Find your bust measurements below. The neutral ease is built into the pattern, meaning final measurements are extremely close to that number.

Knit in the round, seamless.
