Every closet needs a cozy sweater! Rooney is a paneled sweater with a drawstring waist. Designed for knits, this pattern has tapered dolman sleeves and an oversized fit throughout, with a drawstring casing to cinch at the waist.
Michelle is wearing a size 0 Rooney sweater with 2” added to the waist and 1/2” added to the sleeve length. Her measurements are 34”, 28”, and she is 5’6” tall.
This fabric is Revival Terracotta Surreal Faces Double Brushed Knit from Joann
This fabric is Silver Grey Solid Chenille Knit with a Rayon Ribbed Knit neckband. Both fabrics from Joann
Fabrics to shop: Medium-weight knits with two-way stretch with 50% stretch, such as cotton jersey, merino jersey, rib knit, interlock knit, French terry, and sweatshirt fleece.
Fabrics to avoid: Avoid knits that do not have at least 50% stretch.
Fit: This pattern has an oversized fit, but the drawstring waist will let you create a cinch for a fun silhouette. When picking a size, pay most attention to your bust and shoulder measurements.
