Paloma
PALOMA by Melissa Clulow & Mona Schmidt is a slightly cropped raglan-style sweater with a modern, boxy silhouette. Knit in the round from the top down, it features twisted rib texture at the neck, sleeves, cuffs, and hem. The shape is easy to wear over dresses and tunics or with high-waisted skirts and pants and the clean lines will make every outfit feel just a little more pulled together.
The original version of this pattern (shown above) combines Retrosaria Rosa Pomar Mondim and a lace weight mohair yarn for a warm and beautifully structured fabric. For something a little lighter, we suggest pairing our lace weight LUNA with a strand of HALO for an airy but cozy sweater perfect for everyday wear.
SIZES
1 (2, 3, 4) (5, 6, 7, 8)
Finished circumference:
43 (46.75, 50.75, 54.5) (56.75, 59, 61.25, 65)”

Measurements above are given for the finished circumference measured at the end of the raglan increases (i.e. at underarms). This sweater is designed to be worn with approximately 10” / 25.5 cm of positive ease; however, this is just a guide. Some people prefer a closer fit; do not be afraid to select an option that provides somewhat less than the suggested ease according to your own preferences.
