Ursa Sweater Knit Pattern

Designer: Jacqueline Cieslack

URSA is a bear of a sweater — chunky, bold, snuggly, fierce. 

With simple construction and interesting detailing, this cropped bulky weight pullover is a quick and enjoyable knit. 

The sweater is constructed from the top-down with raglan shaping for the sleeves and optional horizontal bust darts in 3 cup sizes. 

The pattern includes directions to try it on as you work and notations to help you tweak the size (including the length, if cropped isn’t your thing!) according to your preference. Also included in the pattern are links to custom video tutorials that will walk you through the techniques for half brioche stitch and German short rows.
