Fibre Mood - ELAN Sweater Sewing Pattern

Elan is the perfect jumper for those who love casual comfort with an edgy twist. This loose-fitting, cropped sweater has a trendy stand-up collar and deep raglan sleeves for a relaxed fit. The centre front has a button placket with snap fasteners, making Elan perfect for wearing open or closed. Functionality is key, with a zip patch pocket on the chest and zip pockets at the lower front. The sleeve hems are finished with an elasticated wrist trim that can be folded inwards for a neat look.
