This pattern was created with the beloved candy corn in mind. I wanted a pattern that would be festive for Halloween yet still wearable at any time of year.

This oversized boxy silhouette (intended for 15-20” + ease) is so comfortable and will be sure to be one you reach for over and over again. (Sized from 40-85”)

Go for the classier version of the traditional candy corn colors or change it up with any other color combination.

This is a bottom up construction that is worked in the round until you separate the front and back for the sleeves. The top stripe is then worked back and forth with German short row shaping in the back to raise the neckline and shape the shoulder while the front has shoulder shaping shaping and neck shaping that dips down for a very comfortable fit.

The shoulder seaming is completely adjustable for a custom fit neck opening. You can leave a wider opening for a more boatneck style or close it up for more of a crew neck effect.

After seaming the shoulders you will then pick up stitches for the sleeves and work in the round (magic loop of DPN’s) down to the cuffs then BO.

The pattern comes with instructions for 3 different sleeve lengths so it’s great for any weather.

Working up quickly it is a very fun and satisfying project that I’m sure you will make more than one.
