Floozy Too Sweater by Truly Myrtle

What is Being Made

Floozy Too is a relaxed-fit pullover sweater designed by Truly Myrtle, created as a companion piece to the popular Floozy cardigan. This top-down knit sweater features a striking colorful yoke and is designed for versatile everyday wear. The sweater works beautifully with jeans, dresses, and skirts, offering a comfortable, laid-back silhouette that encourages repeated wear.

Knitting Techniques

This sweater employs top-down construction, allowing you to try on the garment as you progress through the pattern. The most distinctive technique featured in Floozy Too is the use of slipped stitches to create the eye-catching colorful yoke. The pattern simplifies colorwork by requiring you to work one color per row, eliminating the complexity of managing multiple colors within a single row. This approach makes the project accessible to knitters of various skill levels while still achieving a visually impressive result.

Stitches and Construction

The pattern utilizes fundamental knitting stitches combined with slipped-stitch colorwork techniques. The straightforward stitch work means you won't encounter complicated stitch patterns—instead, the visual impact comes from the strategic color changes and slipped-stitch construction of the yoke. This design philosophy makes Floozy Too suitable for every level of knitter, from beginners building confidence to experienced knitters seeking a quick, satisfying project.

Yarn and Materials

Floozy Too is knitted using Yarnfloozy Merino/Silk/Cashmere yarn, a luxurious blend containing 70% Merino wool, 20% silk, and 10% cashmere. This yarn is classified as 4-ply weight and offers 438 yards (400 meters) per 100-gram skein. Yardage requirements vary by size, ranging from approximately 3 skeins for the smallest size (1) to 5 skeins for the largest sizes (6-9). The blend of fibers creates a sweater that is deliciously comfortable while maintaining structure and drape.

Sizing

Floozy Too is available in nine sizes with finished bust circumferences ranging from 34 inches to 47.75 inches, accommodating a wide range of body types and fit preferences.

Difficulty Level

Rated as intermediate, Floozy Too strikes a balance between accessible and engaging. While the pattern is suitable for every level of knitter, the intermediate classification reflects the yoke construction and color-change sequences. The straightforward nature of working one color per row and the top-down method make this project manageable for those with foundational knitting skills.
