Chime is a cropped, floaty sweater with contrasting stripes and vast billowing sleeves.

Layer it over a tank top or strappy dress, or under a pinafore or dungarees. However you wear it you’ll have plenty of fun swanning about in the fun, floofy (and slightly impractical) sleeves.

This the pattern download only - you can get the kit here.

Size information

This sweater is designed to be worn with 10 - 20 cm positive ease.  It’s a fairly flexible knit, though, and would also work with a little negative ease, or quite a lot more positive ease.

All yarn requirements are in metres.

This sweater is knit using two very different yarns.


Yarn A: Look for something strong and lustrous for yarn A. A silk or silk-blend yarn is perfect, but tencel or mercerised cotton could also work well. This yarn is used for the areas of the sweater that need a little strength - collar, cuffs, underarms and hem - so a yarn that doesn’t snap easily is needed here.

Yarn B: For yarn B you’re looking for fluff!  Mohair is perfect, but a brushed suri alpaca would also work well. Look for a yarn that’s light and fluffy, and gives a pleasing loose fabric when knitted at a loose gauge.

The samples here use:

Caitin Silk (100% mulberry silk, 100gr/ 400m) for yarn A

Caitin Fluff (68% mohair, 32% silk, 50gr/ 400m) for yarn B.

The darker grey colourway is Chasing Shadows and the lighter sea green shade is We’re So Far From Shore Now
