Sweet Dreams Sweater Knitting Pattern (English)

Sweet Dreams Sweater is an oversized, comfortable and soft model with a deep V-neck worked in stockinette brioche. The sweater can be worn from both the right and the wrong side and can be made in both a short and a long version. The neckband, cuffs and bottom of the sweater are worked in stockinette folded double, which gives a voluminous and luxurious look. The sweater has a nice fall and will not be too heavy due to the lightness of the chunky mohair.

Size Guide

The sweater is meant to have a positive ease of 20-30 cm. You should choose the size measuring 20-30 cm more than your bust measurement. If you have a bust measuring 96 cm you should choose a size M. For an even more oversized look you can choose a larger size. In the picture I am wearing a size L, and normally I would choose a size M. The short version is very cropped, and the long version covers the bum. You can choose the length you prefer but remember to calculate more/less yarn.
