Softwear Update

Pattern Description
There are two epaulette options. Option A is a welted epaulette, seen in the photos of the blue and black sweater. Option B is a garter stitch epaulette (see the pink & white sweater in the photos), which uses short rows to create the triangle shape and is quite simple and quick to knit.

The rest of the sweater hangs from the epaulettes and is knit from the top down. Softwear update has dropped, 3/4-length sleeves and a boxy shape with Moss Stitch panels under the arms.

The v-neck and boxy shape are flattering on a wide variety of body shapes. This sweater can be knit with an excess of ease and still look great!

In the photos, I’m wearing a size C on a 37” bust.

Sizing
Softwear update is meant to be worn with at least 4” of ease around the bust.
