Be Sweet Grace & Style Set Wrap Crochet Pattern

Be Sweet Grace & Style Set: Pullover Shawl

What is Being Made

The Be Sweet Grace & Style Set features a luxurious pullover shawl designed by Adele Cutten. This elegant garment is available in three finished bust sizes: 38 inches, 42 inches, and 46 inches. The pullover shawl combines sophisticated styling with wearable comfort, making it suitable for layering or wearing as a statement piece. The design showcases a refined aesthetic that works well for both casual and dressy occasions.

Techniques Used

This pattern employs bottom-up construction, where the garment is built from the cast-on edge upward. The pullover is worked flat on straight needles, meaning pieces are knitted in rows rather than in the round. Seaming is used to join the individual pieces together, creating clean, professional seams along the shoulders and sides. The construction method allows for precise shaping and control over fit throughout the garment.

Stitches and Shaping Details

The pattern uses fundamental knitting stitches and decreasing techniques to create the pullover's shape. Key stitches include:

• Knit and Purl stitches form the stockinette stitch base, creating a smooth, classic fabric
• Ssk (slip, slip, knit) decreases are used for left-leaning decreases, particularly in neck shaping
• K2tog (knit two together) creates right-leaning decreases for balanced shaping
• Kf&b (knit front and back) increases stitches for sleeve cap shaping

The pullover features underarm shaping achieved by binding off 6 stitches on each side, and neck shaping with symmetric decreases on both shoulders. Sleeves include gradual increases worked every 6 rows to create a properly fitted sleeve cap.

Materials and Gauge

This pattern is worked in Be Sweet Grace & Style yarn, a luxurious blend containing 69% baby mohair, 29% bamboo, and 2% metallic fiber. Each ball provides 180 yards and weighs 25 grams. The project requires 5 balls for the smallest size, 6 balls for the medium, and 7 balls for the largest size, allowing crafters to choose the quantity needed for their desired finished size.

The pattern is worked at a gauge of 13 stitches and 19 rows over 4 inches, which is essential for achieving proper fit. This gauge is achieved using US 10.5 (6.5mm) needles for the main knitting. A US H (5.0mm) crochet hook is also included in the materials list, suggesting finishing details or edging work completed with crochet techniques.

Construction Overview

The pullover consists of a back piece, front piece with neck shaping, and two matching sleeves. The back is cast on and worked straight until the underarm, where stitches are bound off to create armhole depth. The front follows the same initial construction but includes neck shaping partway through, with decreases worked on both shoulders to create a flattering neckline. Sleeves are worked separately with increases to shape the cap, then seamed into place. This modular approach allows for precise fitting and professional results.
