KNITTING

Handmade

Let me introduce you to the best thing I have ever knitted: the cumulus blouse. This sheer, loose fitting fluffy cloud of a sweater is so gorgeous and comfortable I can hardly articulate it. Maybe the best way to convey it is to say that I rarely knit the same project twice and definitely not back to back, but after finishing my sweater I immediately ordered more yarn to make these for several of my friends and have already gotten started on one of them.

I have been quite obsessed with all of Petite Knit’s designs lately and for good reason – they are perfectly in line with my own personal style. Finding pieces like this which feel so very “me” that I can style in several ways and wear in so many different settings feels empowering, and even more so when the garment is handmade. This sweater can be styled more sweetly over a white bralette or tank with neutral makeup, or with more sex appeal over a black bra with bold lipstick (which some people find so scandalous, LOL.)

Read on below for all the project details and a gallery with a few more photos.

My Notes

Fit

This sweater is meant to have plenty of ease, and I think it’s just the right amount. I made bust circumference 102 cm and it fits just as I hoped it would.

Pattern

This is a great pattern. Simple construction with nice details including the ability to crop the top if desired thanks to the top down construction. I especially love the look of the I-cord edging around the sleeves, waist, and neckline.

Difficulty

The construction of this sweater is pretty simple and straightforward, and this could be a great choice if you haven’t made a sweater before. Raglan style, top-down sweaters are easier to fit properly.
