Please read below before purchasing this pattern, as it is only available in ONE SIZE To Fit Actual Full Bust Circumference of 38.5”/98 cm with 0.5’’/ 1.27 cm of positive ease.

This pattern is only available in ONE SIZE, the size of the sample I made for myself. The sample specifications are listed in the diagram. My decision of writing and publishing a pattern in only one size is motivated by the fact that unless the interest in my patterns will significantly pick up, I can no longer justify spending so much time on pattern grating and test knitting multiple sizes. Especially now, when I am back in school working towards a new degree and completely different for me profession. After publishing my last garment pattern (Casual Friday cardigan) I have decided to no longer write patterns for garments and just knit those designs for myself, but over the years multiple people have asked me about availability of patterns for some of my unpublished cardigans and sweaters and after someone suggested “why don’t you just publish it in your sample size”, I thought why not? :-)
So here we are with my second one size pattern and some other ones to come in the future as well.

Cloud Nine top is knitted seamless top-down. It has raglan sleeves. The sleeves are knitted seamless in the yoke and knitted in the round after the separation for sleeves and the body. The body has no shaping and is knitted straight. The sweater features little leaf stitch with a picot edge border on the body, neckline and sleeves.
