DESCRIPTION
This sweater is a celebration of simplicity — from the top-down European drop shoulder construction to the diagonal color-blocked intarsia across the body, this quick and easy knit makes the coziest wardrobe staple in your favorite bulky weight yarn. The pattern includes instructions for 9 sizes, and both charted and written instructions for the intarsia.
 
And yes, this would make a great first intarsia project!
 
SIZING

All of my garment patterns are #sizeinclusive to fit up to at least a 60”/150cm full chest circumference.

FINISHED BUST/CHEST CIRCUMFERENCE:
In inches: (36, 40, 44) [48, 52, 56] {60, 64, 68}
In centimeters: (90, 100, 110) [120, 130, 140] {150, 160, 170}

To choose your size, measure the circumference of your torso around the fullest part of your bust/chest and choose a size that fits with 6-12”/15-30cm of positive ease at the bust/chest.

In the photos, Jaq (they/them) is wearing is size 8 (64”/160cm) with 10”/25cm of positive ease at the chest.

YARN

TILT was designed in White Gum Wool Bulky Bouclé. This 100% merino yarn is super soft and squishy. The bulky bouclé amplifies the gorgeous, velvety feel of this wool, while also adding beautiful visual texture that softens the look of individual stitches and makes the yarn especially suitable for intarsia.

YARN A:
(315, 350, 385) 420, 460, 505 {545, 590, 635} yards / (290, 320, 350) 385, 420, 460 {500, 540, 580} meters
