Fluffy Bell Sweater - Downloadable Knitting Pattern

The KNIT SAFARI Fluffy Bell Sweater is a statement knit, full of drama and knitted in mohair which is perfect for the chilly months. With oversized bell shaped sleeves, a loose-fit through the bust, and a giant roll neck, pair this knit with high-waisted jeans or a midi skirt for a modern feel. The handknitted turtleneck is designed to be worn rolled down, or scrunched up, to keep your neck and ears warm when the temperature plummets.

The Fluffy Bell Sweater is a DIY knitting pattern for a super fluffy sweater, worked seamlessly in the round bottom-up, from the hem to the underarms, then the front and back is worked flat. The oversized sleeves are worked seamlessly to the sleeve caps, then the neck is worked in the round after seaming for a professional finish to your oversized mohair jumper!

FIT: 

The Fluffy Bell Sweater has an oversized fit with 20cm+ of positive ease at the bust - you may wish to knit a smaller size for a closer fit.

The model is a UK size 10 and is wearing the Fluffy Bell Sweater in size medium.
