Arm Candy is now available only via CustomFit, my custom sweater pattern generator.

CustomFit Arm Candy custom patterns are $12.50 and will give you a sweater that looks exactly like the original sweater, but all of the pattern numbers have been created exclusively to match your gauge, your body measurements, and your length/sleeve preferences. For the fully customizable version of Arm Candy, go HERE.


Arm Candy figure-conscious, elbow-sleeve V neck with seed stitch and button trim details.

The elbow-length sleeves, princess waist shaping, and deep V are flattering on a variety of body types. Waist shaping will be customized to your specific body’s needs. This is shown (and conceived) with a “close hourglass” fit, but would also work with an average fit. (The neckline may gap with a relaxed fit.)

Yarn-wise, the sweater works dressed up for work or down for play and looks gorgeous in fancy, hand-painted yarns. Shown in Sundara Aran Silky Merino, color “Wild Blueberries”, 5 (5, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7) hanks, but your favorite aran or worsted weight yarn will look divine, too.
