Whether temperatures are cooling down or warming up where you live, layering pieces are a must this time of year. Enter, the Tobin Sweater , the first curvy and plus size sweater sewing pattern from Cashmerette! Cozy up all season long with this warm and stylish sweater which has three totally different looks!
We’ve been working on creating more mix-and-match separates for Cashmerette Patterns, so we’re thrilled to finally introduce a sweater to our range. As always, the Tobin is designed for curves in sizes 12 to 28 and cup sizes C – H, and has bust darts and side seam shaping for a curve-friendly fit. Three neckline options, color-blocking, and cuffs allow you to mix and match fabrics to whip up your perfect sweater—or to keep it simple for a classic sweatshirt look. Whether you’re a beginner or seasoned sewist, we hope you’ll find the Tobin Sweater fun and easy to sew.

We are so excited about the Tobin Sweater that we went a little overboard with FOUR new boiled wool blend kits, available in four luscious colors—we still can’t believe how vibrant they are! This boucle-textured boiled wool blend knit fabric is lighter than traditional wool and drapes beautifully, making for an ideal layering piece you can wear all year long. And it’s easier to handle and sew than traditional wool or highly stretchy fabrics!

Looks fabulous. I really loved that you included biceps adjustment pattern piece with the Montrose. Is there one with this?
We don’t have full bicep option for this pattern, since it’s made with knit fabric which is more accommodating than a woven. But if you find that the arms are tighter than you’d like, here’s a tutorial for doing a full bicep adjustment: https://blog.cashmerette.com/2016/10/tutorial-how-to-make-sleeves-larger.html

Thanks very much for reply. I’ll look at that cos I usually need biceps adjustment even on knits.
