A sewing friend of mine sent me a photo of this adorable sweater, with no sleeve seam, a cross-over front and back, and a “batwing” style dolman sleeve. And I was obsessed with the idea of turning that rtw sweater into a sewing pattern. And that’s what I did!
Meet: the Snuggler Sweater!
This beginner friendly pattern is an adorable dolman “batwing” style sweater with a simple construction and oversized silhouette. The Snuggler Sweater is a cross-over top, with matching front and back pieces. There is a continuous sleeve from wrist-to-neckline, meaning there are very minimal seams to sew up!
The silhouette is flattering on all shapes and sizes, and is drafted for use with knit (stretch) fabrics!
Specific fabric recommendations: Brushed ribbed knits, ribbed knits, modal knit blends, double brushed polyester knits, sweater knits, spandex french terry blend knits, waffle knits, brushed waffle knits, etc.
The sweater features:
- Two hem lengths: Crop + Shirt
- Dolman “batwing” style sleeve
- Cross-over front + back bodice
- Oversized fit, with a blouse-y banded bottom hem
- Two long sleeve versions: Cuffed + Hemmed
With this download, you will receive an easy-to-print, color coded pattern with a NO TRIM page feature. You will also be able to turn on/off layers so you can print only the size you need. The files include four print formats: Letter, A4, A0 (printshop), and Projector formats PLUS a full-color, step-by-step tutorial file.
There is a full step-by-step color tutorial included, to help guide you through your skirt making process. Due to the construction of the pattern, it is a little bit of a fabric hog. So be sure to check the yardage requirements in the tutorial and make sure you have enough fabric before you begin cutting + sewing anything!
I hope you love it! Remember to tag #wildandwanderfulblog / @wildandwanderfulblog when you make something from this pattern, so I can see your brilliant work!
Hi
What a wonderful batch of ideas you have!
Hey-I signed up for the snuggled sweater on both of my emails-and nothing has arrived…any ideas?
Apologies! I switched newsletter services and apparently all of the automations weren’t firing like they should have been. If you want to give it another go, the system should be working for that link now.
