The Paradigme Sweater was created for those who looove wool sweaters but start melting the moment they step indoors. Basta overheating! :)

Knitted in a cozy wool and cotton blend, it features delicate lace and playful bobbles (optional, by the way!) along the raglan lines. But at heart, it’s still a simple, everyday sweater, just with a special twist.

♥ SKILL LEVEL. Don’t worry if you’re new to garment knitting. All of my patterns are designed with adventurous beginners in mind. As long as you’re comfortable with the knit and purl stitches and have tackled projects like scarves or hats, you have the skills to create this sweater.

The lace is only 9 stitches wide and comes both as a chart and as round by round written instructions, and the whole sweater has a step by step video tutorial on my YouTube channel.

♥ PATTERN. Instant download PDF file in both cm and inches.

♥ LANGUAGES: Available in English, German, and French.

♥ METHOD: This sweater is knit seamlessly in the round, worked top-down from the yoke. Raglan increases shape the yoke until it reaches the underarm. At that point, a few extra rows are worked flat over the back and both raglan lines, adding a flap of extra fabric to shape the back neckline.
The piece is then divided into body and sleeves, each finished separately in the round.

♥ CUSTOMIZE Your Sweater: make the body longer or shorter, adjust the sleeve length, and fine tune the neckline fit.

♥ 11 SIZES, numbered 1 to 11.
This sweater is designed with approx. 3 to 14 cm / 1¼ to 5½ inches of positive ease.
I am wearing size 4. I’m 168 cm (5’6”) tall with a bust circumference of 96 cm (38”).

♥ GAUGE: 21 sts x 30 rows in stockinette stitch in a 10x10 cm (4x4 inches) piece on 4 mm (US 6) needles (after blocking).

♥ YARN. This sweater can be made with a variety of DK weight yarns. I knitted this sweater in a superwash merino and cotton blend. Superwash yarns can stretch after washing, especially when knitted loosely.
For a more predictable result, choose a non-superwash DK yarn such as DROPS Lima or Sandnes Garn Double Sunday, or any other yarn with approx. 100 to 120 m / 110 to 130 yd per 50 g.

Sample 1 was worked in Sandnes Garn “Duo” yarn (50% merino wool, 50% Pima cotton, DK, 50 g / 115 m or 1.8 oz / 126 yards per skein, color #5023, Lilac).

Sample 2 was worked in DROPS “Cotton Merino” yarn (50% merino wool, 50% cotton, DK, 50 g / 110 m or 1.8 oz / 120 yards per skein, color #01, Off white).

You will need 50 g / 1.8 oz skeins of Sandnes Garn “Duo”, or this length of any other DK weight yarn:
Size 1: 8 skeins or 870 m / 955 yd
Size 2: 9 skeins or 950 m / 1040 yd
Size 3: 9 skeins or 980 m / 1075 yd
Size 4: 9 skeins or 1015 m / 1110 yd
Size 5: 10 skeins or 1140 m / 1250 yd
Size 6: 11 skeins or 1230 m / 1350 yd
Size 7: 12 skeins or 1285 m / 1405 yd
Size 8: 12 skeins or 1335 m / 1460 yd
