Volume Sweater is a cozy, slightly oversized pullover with a modern lace motif and textured yarn that gives each version a unique personality. The pattern is worked in four separate pieces (front, back, and sleeves), then seamed. Shoulders are joined using the 3-needle bind-off, sleeves are set in, and stitches are picked up around the neckline and finished with 1×1 ribbing.

The pattern includes three sizes, with a recommended ease of 10–15 cm (4–6 in).

Due to the airy lace and textured yarns, each sample looks distinct—even though the pattern remains the same. Whether you use flammé yarn, chainette-style blends, or solid vs variegated colorways, the result is always stunning.
