This sweater was designed to be a literal dream: when Victoria of Purl Scout Yarns told me their idea of creating a colourway based on Sailor Moon’s bedsheets, I knew I wanted to try designing an Usagi-inspired sweater. With its voluminous sleeves, sheer V panel and crescent moon lace panels, this sweater is both high drama and ultra comfortable — a combination I think Usagi herself would approve of.

For a comprehensive overview of the pattern construction, required materials and skills, and sizing information, see the Usagi pattern page.

My sample was knit using Purl Scout Yarns Starry Fingering (80% eco processed superwash merino, 20% nylon) and Astra (70% mohair, 30% silk) in the colourway Usagi’s Bed.
