The Tapered Sweater is a staple piece for any wardrobe. With it’s beginner-friendly construction and simplistic style - anyone can re-create this modern garment.
This design is customizable and features a tapered sleeve silhouette, allowing for spacious room at the shoulders and a slightly fitted cuff - decide between a casual or an oversized fit, full length or cropped length sweater. The pattern has been written for a chunky striped design, but can easily be altered for thinner stripes or crocheted with a solid color only.
Construction - A front & back panel are crocheted separately and seamed together. After stitching the side panels, sleeves are worked in the round. Lastly, the neckline is worked back & fourth in the round.
Although this is a made-to-measure pattern, I provide my own measurement preferences, stitch count, tips & advice to help you get a better feel for how this sweater can be sized to fit your body.
Full steps, tips for customization & photos included.

Saturation Differences
Colorways dyed on the Cotton & Silk bases (50% SW Merino) will be more subdued and muted, retaining less saturation/vibrancy than other bases with higher wool content.
Suggested Care
It is always recommended to wash your garments by hand - using lukewarm/cool water and wool soap. Make sure not to tug or pull at the fibers once wet, gently squeeze out excess water, and lay flat to dry.
