The Snuggler Sweater | A Free PDF Sewing Pattern from Wild+Wanderful!

Feb 18, 2023

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!
