Carrie Sweater
Carrie Sweater
Inspired by the iconic turquoise shawl worn by Carrie in Sex and the City (Season 2, Episode 6), the Carrie Sweater brings a bold, maximalist flair with a dopamine-boosting twist. Crafted with chunky mesh stitch from sleeve to sleeve, this design features a relaxed silhouette and voluminous balloon sleeves, achieved through strategic increases before knitting the cuffs. The body and neckline edges complete the look, framing a piece that feels both daring and cozy. Knit the main body with 10 mm (US 15) needles for a loose, open structure, and finish the cuffs and edges with 8 mm (US 11) for a polished touch.
