Flannel Sweater was inspired by planned pooling method (it’s a technique that uses variegated yarn to create intentional patterns).

I love the look of planned pooling, but wanted to eliminate the challenge of having to identify specific yarn that works for planned pooling. This also allows you to create fun color mixes that’re perfect for your desired color palette.

The pattern is customizable so you can decide on
boatneck vs off shoulder optional shoulder shaping instructions included.
The positive ease (fit to your body vs oversized) instructions provided as graded (if meeting gauge) and as made to measure.
Different sleeve options (batwing vs bell sleeve) separate instructions included

Sizes:
Bust Measurement (cm):
70-80 (81-90) 91-100 (101-110) 111-120
(121-130) 131-140 (141-150) 151-160
Bust Measurement (in):
28-31 (32-35) 36-39 (40-43) 44-47
(48-51) 52-55 (56-59) 60-63

You can select your desired positive ease (0-30cm or 0-12in).
There are two different tables provided in the pattern based on the positive ease you desire and the sleeve types.

Suggested Yarn & Gauge:
Gauge (22sts x 22 rows 10X10cm) for the pattern recommends a 4.0mm hook with fingering weight yarn for flowy finish of the sweater. However, the pattern can also be used as made to measure (MtM) (if not meeting gauge) using thicker yarn (DK) if you prefer a more structured fit.

Testers have used yarn ranging from lace weight to DK. Their finished objects and yarn information are included in the Tester Lookbook for you to use as a reference.

Yarn Estimates:
Estimated Yarn Usage will vary depending on the sweater length (customizable) and the sleeve type (batwing vs balloon or straight sleeves). Information below is based on fingering weight yarn and meeting gauge).
