Detail
Madeleine Sweater has a loose fit and features an elegant allover lace pattern that makes this a fun and engaging knit from start to finish. It is worked from the bottom up with 2 strands of No Waste Wool held together throughout.
You start working the body in the round to the underarms. Here, work is divided into front and back and finished separately while working back and forth. The shoulders are grafted using Kitchener stitch before the sleeves are worked from the bottom up and grafted to the armhole using Kitchener stitch once more. Finally, stitches are picked up for the neckband which is worked in stockinette stitch, before being folded and stitched to the inside afterwards.

Customer Reviews
Leno********guez
Instructions were great but the schematic measurements didn’t match my bust-to-waist ratio — ended up shortening the body by 2 inches and adding ease. Still love how it turned out though. Took 10 days to arrive and tracking stopped updating after day 5
Ala*******pel
Wore it to my remote job interview on Zoom — looked polished and professional but felt totally relaxed. No pilling after three washes and the color hasn’t faded one bit. Packaging was eco-friendly and included a little thank-you sticker

This sweater solved my ‘I have nothing to wear to the gallery opening but don’t want to look try-hard’ dilemma — elegant but easy lived-in but intentional the yarn has such gentle loft and the seams are nearly invisible the return label was pre-printed and the refund processed same day when I accidentally ordered two

Made this for my mom’s birthday and she cried when she opened it — said it felt like being wrapped in her favorite childhood blanket. The cable detail pops so nicely and the finished weight is perfect for spring mornings. Pattern PDF downloaded instantly and video links worked flawlessly
Ms. Ar*************ser DVM
Slipped this on before my morning walk and stayed warm without sweating the wool-cotton blend moved with me not against me and the color looked rich even under grey drizzle the tracking updated hourly and the box had a little sticker saying ‘You’ve got this’ — yes I really do
Eula********ler
Beautiful texture and lovely fit but the sleeve length is about half an inch short for my arms — not a dealbreaker since I love rolling them just so but worth noting if you have longer forearms shipping was prompt and packaging felt thoughtful
Kar*******eler
Beautiful pattern and clear instructions — finished it in under two weeks. But the recommended yarn made it a bit stiff at first; blocked it twice and now it’s dreamy. Shipping was prompt though the box had a small dent — no damage to contents
Herm********ler
Needed something warm but refined for parent-teacher conferences and this delivered — no itch no shine no awkward stretching across the back the deep navy matched every blazer I own and the care instructions were clear and realistic I’ve washed it twice and it looks brand new
Abb*******bert
Knit this during my winter break and wore it hiking in the Smokies — stayed cozy even at 38°F but didn’t overheat on the uphill. The neckline doesn’t gape and the sleeves hit exactly at my wrist. Customer service answered my gauge question within an hour
Mrs.*********Adams
Wore it to my first in-person book club since 2022 and instantly felt grounded — the drape is effortless the neckline frames my face gently and the weight is just right for layered autumn evenings shipping was lightning fast and the tissue paper smelled faintly of lavender
