✨ Description
Baggy Sweater – a minimalist sweater with a modern fit and a striking texture created by combining split-bed rib and
the plating technique. The contrast between yarns forms a deep vertical structure, while the double-layer neckline
gives the piece a refined finish.
The sleeves are shaped using an unconventional cast-on method that provides a clean edge without additional
finishing.
This design is intended for intermediate machine knitters looking to expand their technical skills on a double-bed
knitting machine.

Sizes
The pattern includes instructions for the following sizes:

XS, S, M, L
Accurate measurements and adjustments are explained step-by-step to ensure the perfect fit.
Gauge-Free Approach
Unlike most patterns, Baggy sweater does not require matching the designer’s gauge. Instead, you have two calculation options to customize the pattern to your individual gauge and measurements:

Automatic Calculation – Enter your measurements into the provided Excel calculator, which will generate the stitch and row counts for you.
Manual Calculation – Use the provided formulas and detailed instructions to calculate the stitch and row counts yourself.
This eliminates the stress of trying to match the designer’s tension and allows you to work comfortably with your machine’s natural settings.
