Dream Sweater – Named

Super pleased with how this turned out as I was worried about the neck darts and also using boiled wool, would it go over my head?

I chose a lovely wool/viscose in ivory from Bloomsbury Square fabrics. I opted to use a piece of scrap viscose jersey for the neck facing to reduce the chance of the wool irritating my skin.

I carefully copied the darts with tailor tacks as I didnt want to risk using a frixion pen to mark them, then they were easily removed when I had sewn them up.

The sweater came together fairly quickly using zigzag on my machine and overlocked seams but wasn’t really necessary with this fabric, which was a dream to work with.

I made a size L according to finished measurements, I am 44ins bust 40ins waist and 50ins hip. This pattern is quite oversized, I love it and yes it goes over my head.
