Anne's Puffed Sleeves
Couldn't load pickup availability
Part of my Coming Home: An Anne of Green Gables Knitting Collection, this is Anne’s dream puff sleeves, in sweater form.
Vintage inspired with a modern twist, this top-down, knit in the round raglan has beautifully delicate textured eyelet increases, and a pleated shoulder detail.
The pleats open up and flow into a puffed sleeve worthy of Anne’s best outfits, finished with a delicately gathered icord cuff.

Yarn Selection & Yardage
Rui Knits’ Oh My Merino (100% Organic Extra Fine Merino Wool, Non-SW, DK weight, 100g, 230 yds / 210, in colorway Scallion.
Cropped length: 875 (975, 1050, 1150, 1275) (1375, 1475, 1575, 1650) yards / 800 (890, 960, 1050, 1170) (1260, 1350, 1440, 1510) meters, or approximately approximately 4 (5, 5, 5, 6) (6, 7, 7, 8) skeins of suggested yarn.
Full length: 1075 (1200, 1300, 1425, 1575) (1700, 1825, 1950, 2025) yards / 980 (1100, 1190, 1300, 1440) (1550, 1670, 1780, 1850) meters, or approximately 5 (6, 6, 7, 7) (8, 8, 9, 9) skeins of suggested yarn.
Use a plump DK weight yarn that has many plies, a fiber with crimp (such as Merino, Rambouillet, or similar), and plenty of bounce and “stand”. Non-superwash is recommended as superwash yarn will not stand up in the same way to create the “puff”.
To determine whether a yarn will create the desired fabric, swatch for gauge. After the swatch is blocked and measured, work the pleat and neckband pick up instructions on it and see if the pleat created is as desired.
To modify the length further, calculate approximately 32 (36, 40, 44, 48) (52, 56, 60, 62) yards / 29 (33, 37, 40, 44) (47, 51, 55, 56) meters per 1″ / 2.5 cm change in torso side length.
