The Cloudy sweater is a hip-length knit with a classic crew neck and long, straight sleeves. Both the cuffs and hem feature small side slits for comfort and style. It is worked top-down in Stockinette stitch with raglan shaping using M1R and M1L increases. The neckline, cuffs, and hem are finished in a Twisted rib stitch pattern, with the collar designed to be folded over. The body is worked straight, making it easy to adjust the length if desired—just remember to allow for extra yarn. The Cloudy sweater is a cozy piece highlighted with three decorative lace rows, giving it a simple yet interesting look.
