Coffee Break Sweater
Coming December 2026
The Coffee Break sweater is a classic raglan staple featuring pleats at each cuff, adding that simple detail that elevates the overall design.
This cropped sweater has a subtle tapered fit to avoid the garment from flaring out at the waist.
Bust shaping instructions are also included to adapt the bust to your body measurements.
The pattern includes video tutorials for some of the techniques that are required.
