Static Haze

The Static Haze sweater is an all-over colorwork, choose your own adventure style sweater with a top-down, raglan construction. It is worked using a worsted yarn for the main color and three strands (two fingering and one laceweight) held together as the contrasting color, making it a perfect stash busting project. The yardages given are based on this arrangement, although you could easily substitute a single worsted strand or any other combination of yarns for the contrasting color as long as they meet gauge.

Sizing
This pattern is designed to have approximately 4” (10cm) of positive ease at the full bust. However, for a more accurate fit in the neck and shoulders, I recommend fitting according to your upper bust size and working a bust adjustment if needed.

This pattern includes 19 sizes split into 3 separate pattern documents. Range A: 1 (2, 3, 4) 5, 6, 7, Range B: 8 (9, 10) 11, 12, 13, and Range C: 14 (15, 16) 17, 18, 19. Each size also includes instructions for 3 different sleeve lengths.
