Knitting pattern – Women's flat-knit sweater with balloon sleeves.
With its graphic polka dots and balloon sleeves, Colette adds a playful touch while staying easy to wear every day.
Knitted flat in colorwork stockinette using just two colors, this tee pairs a comfortable straight fit with feminine details that make all the difference.
The round neckline, the delicately gathered shoulders, and the regular motif come together in a design that's modern, timeless, and full of charm.
The body and sleeves are worked flat and then seamed, so you can enjoy the colorwork row after row with no particular difficulty.
The sleeves are set in and then gathered at the shoulder to create the soft, structured volume that's characteristic of this type of construction.
The design is knitted in Balayage by Pascuali — a fine, lightweight yarn that shows off the crispness of the colorwork and drapes beautifully once blocked.
Pattern instructions are available in French, English, and German.
