The boyfriend sweater is the perfect item to grab when you want to relax at the end of the day, sitting on the sofa in front of your favourite film, or when you are outside watching the sun go down. It is a casual style but the details provide a lot of interest, with patterning as a panel down the length of the sleeves and around the mid-frame.
The pattern includes notes for two versions. The first version as shown on the front cover includes contrast colored sleeves and neck trim, while the second is worked in a single shade.
The Boyfriend Sweater is a relaxed, casual knitted pullover designed for comfortable everyday wear. This intermediate-level knitting project creates an oversized-fit sweater perfect for lounging or outdoor relaxation. The design is available in two versions: a contrast-colored iteration featuring sleeves and neck trim in a different shade, and a single-color alternative for a more uniform appearance.
Sizing: Available in three sizes—Small (Medium, Large) to fit UK size 8 (10, 12) or US size 4 (6, 8). Finished bust circumference measures approximately 91 (96, 102)cm / 36 (38, 40) inches, with finished length of 52 (55, 57)cm / 20.5 (21.5, 22.5) inches.
The Boyfriend Sweater incorporates thoughtful design elements that elevate its casual aesthetic. Decorative patterning runs as a panel down the full length of both sleeves and wraps around the mid-frame of the sweater body, creating visual interest and texture variation throughout the garment. The pattern construction allows knitters to choose between the two-color contrast version or work the entire sweater in a single coordinated shade, providing flexibility in the final appearance.
While specific stitch details are outlined within the pattern instructions, the Boyfriend Sweater employs patterned panel work integrated into the sleeve and body sections. This intermediate-level project requires competency with following stitch patterns, managing increases and decreases for shaping, and executing neckline and cuff finishing techniques.
Yarn: Cashmerino Aran by Debbie Bliss, a premium blend containing 55% Merino wool, 33% Micro fibre, and 12% Cashmere. This aran-weight yarn provides approximately 90 meters (98 yards) per 50-gram (1.75-ounce) ball. The two-color version requires 3 balls of the main color, with additional yardage needed for contrast elements.
Rated as Intermediate difficulty, this project suits knitters with foundational skills who are ready to work with stitch patterns and manage multiple color options or consistent shading throughout a garment.

Tell us what you think about it.
I was really cross with this pattern because once I had paid £4 for it and downloaded it I found out it is only in sizes UK 8, 10, 12 (32, 34, 36 ins). Nowhere does it say this on any information before downloading!! I am a size 16 and not a clever enough knitter to increase the size! So quite frankly, a waste of my money!!! Such a shame because I love the sweater!!
