The Ivy Sweater is a sophisticated wardrobe essential that blends comfort with understated elegance. Featuring a relaxed fit and beautiful shaping, this seamless top-down design creates a sweater that feels as good to wear as it does to knit. Carefully placed increases and refined finishing details give the garment a polished look while maintaining a clean, modern aesthetic.

Perfect for everyday wear, the Ivy Sweater can be styled effortlessly with everything from denim to tailored pieces. Its timeless design transcends seasonal trends, making it a versatile knit you’ll return to year after year. Whether you’re creating your first handmade wardrobe staple or adding another classic to your collection, the Ivy Sweater is a pattern you’ll treasure both on and off the needles.

The Ivy Sweater is designed to have approx. 12 cm [4¾ inches] of positive ease, meaning it is designed to be approx. 12 cm [4¾ inches] larger in circumference than your bust measurement. The sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) are designed to fit a bust circumference of 75-80 (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95 100 (100-110) 110-120 (120-130) 130-140 (140-150) cm [29½-31½ (31½-33½) 33½-35½ (35½-37½) 37½-39½ (39½-43¼) 43¼-47¼ (47¼-51¼) 51¼-55 (55-59) inches].

The measurements for the finished sweater can be found on the front page of the pattern (note that these measurements only apply if the correct gauge is maintained throughout). Measure yourself before beginning your project, to determine which size will fit you the best. For example, if you measure 90 cm [35½ inches] around your bust (or around the widest part of your upper body) you should knit a size S. A size S sweater has a bust circumference of 102 cm [40¼ inches] which in the given example would give you 12 cm [4¾ inches] of positive ease.

The patterns in this category require that you have experience with and feel confident in using the basic knitting techniques, as the patterns contain more advanced techniques for example for casting on, picking up and knitting stitches or working short rows.

You may need to keep track of multiple elements at the same time – for example you may need to work a charted pattern while working shaping at the same time.
