SugarPuff

**Overview** The SugarPuff is the sugary sweet puff-sleeved sweater of my dreams! I wanted a really fluffy, cozy, and simple sweater to cozy up in during the colder months. The SugarPuff is oversized, meditative to crochet, and perfect for curling up with a book and a little treat! **Construction** This sweater is crocheted top-down and the front and back are worked separately until joining at the underarm to work in the round. A ribbed hem is added at the end of the body, and a ribbed collar is picked up after the body is complete. Sleeves are picked up and worked straight until just before the cuffs, where they are rapidly decreased to create a puff sleeve. **Sizes** (1, 2, 3) {4, 5, 6} [7, 8, 9] 10, 11 (XS, S, M) {L, XL, 2X} [3X, 4X, 5X] 6X, 7X to fit chest measurement of: (28-30, 32-34, 36-38) {40-42, 44-46, 48-50} [52-54, 56-58, 60-62] 64-66, 68-70 inches / (71-76, 81-86, 91.5-96.5) {101.5-106.5, 111.5-117, 122-127} [132-137, 142-147, 152-158] 163-168, 173-178 centimeters Garment Full Chest Measurement: (38, 42, 46) {50, 54, 58} [62, 66, 70] 74, 78 inches / (97, 107, 117) {127, 137, 147} [157, 168, 178] 188, 198 centimeters This top is designed with 8 to 10 inches / 20 to 26 centimeters of positive ease.
