Cafe Au Lait Sweater

Construction

The sweater is worked flat, from the bottom up, in three parts:

1) Front

2) Back

3) Sleeves x 2

Shoulders, sides and sleeves are all seamed at the end

I used the whip stitch method to seam the shoulders, and mattress stitch for the sides and sleeves.

Fit

The sizes in this pattern are based on the body measurements as laid out by the Craft Yarn Council.

This sweater is designed to have a loose (but not oversized) fit, with 4” of positive ease on the bust and upper arms. For each of the CYC sizes, I used the larger measurement as the starting point for that size e.g. Size XS is bust size 28”-30” – I used 30” as the starting point. Adding 4” of ease to this measurement gives a sweater circumference of 34”.

If you are between sizes you could probably consider sizing down (this is completely at your own discretion of course)
