The Cloud Sweater Surprised Me! ⎸ The PetiteKnit This-or-That Series ⎸ Ep. 4

The third sweater in the series is finally finished: The Cloud Sweater! ☁️ In this episode, I’m diving deep into the construction and looking at how the small technical details—what we in architecture call tectonics—make all the difference in how a garment sits. I share my honest thoughts on: Why vertical gauge is so important (and how I had to recalculate the sleeves). The debate around grading and pattern sizes: Why 16 pages of instructions can be both a blessing and a challenge. A comparison with my own designs and different shoulder constructions. I've also decided to add a wear test to the experiment, and we wrap up with some hypotheseses —which of these three sweaters will actually stand the test of time??
