Pink Fluff
This is a set including both the Lacey & Ruffle Fluff patterns.
Click here to see the listing details for Lacey Fluff which features fitted sleeves, lace hem & cuffs, optional a-line shaping and colorblocking along with optional worksheets that allow you to customize the length while maintaining even colorblocking and to have the appropriate number of stitches to work the lace hem should your a-line increases differ from the pattern.
Click here to see the listing details for Ruffle Fluff which features blousy sleeves, either ruffled or ribbed hem & cuffs, optional side openings that can be worked with buttonbands or zippers and stripes.
This sweet set features the same gauge and sizing options which allows you to easily mix and match features from either sweater design—which contain a myriad of options in themselves—to create the fluff of your dreams. Pop a ruffle or side-openings on your colorblock, add a-line shaping to your striped sweater, swap out the sleeve styles (you’ll have instructions for both blousy or fitted)…the possibilities are endless. Both sweaters are worked from the top down with seamless, raglan-style sleeves. Worksheets are included should you desire a body or sleeve length that differs from either of the cropped or standard length options that are already included along with a yarn chart that provides amounts per inch, size & sweater section.
Lacey Fluff Is shown in Size 2 with no ease at the chest, but with the a-line shaping option for plenty of room at the waist and hips. Ruffle Fluff is shown in Size 3 with approximately 4.5"/11.5 cm positive ease for an overall blousy fit.

To knit these pieces sweater, all you need to know is basic increasing and decreasing, picking up stitches, cable cast–on along with standard cast-on and bind-off, for Lacey Fluff you should also know how to work yarnovers.
YARN NOTE
These sweaters are worked with yarn held double throughout; all yardage provided is based on this assumption. If you choose to substitute a yarn that will be held single, you will likely not need quite as much yarn. Patterns also features charts showing yarn needed per inch and per size, in both body and sleeves in order to allow you to easily modify both sleeve and body length to your exact desired measurements. Sweaters are worked at a looser gauge, which is successful with high alpaca or mohair content because the fibers bloom significantly to create a solid fabric. If using an alternate fiber, consider using a heavier weight yarn in order to achieve gauge without a loose fabric.
