The days are getting shorter, the nights are getting cooler, and that means only one thing: the colder season is upon us! It's the time of year when we long for warmth and coziness. What could be more fitting than a hand-knit sweater that not only keeps us warm, but also accompanies us through fall and winter in style?
I have just the thing for you: the Mira Sweater!
Mira is a body-hugging sweater with a dropped stitch mesh neckline at the front, back, and sleeves. It is knit seamlessly from top to bottom using a circular yoke construction. You can choose whether you prefer to knit a crew neck or a turtleneck, and adjust the length to your liking.
Like all my patterns, you can customize this one to your personal body shape. You'll find built-in instructions for optional horizontal bust darts that you can customize to taylor to your measurements. Instructions for 8 cup sizes ranging from A to H are included.
The length of the body can also be easily adjusted to your needs and can be perfectly tailored to you by decreasing and increasing.
The instructions are best suited for experienced knitters.
You can get your Miras Sweater pattern in my webshop and on Ravelry:
