Fortune Sweater
The Fortune Sweater is a beautiful, lightweight knit with a delicate clover eyelet pattern that runs through the yoke and body, giving it that soft, feminine detail without feeling overly fussy.
It’s worked top down with raglan increases, so you can try it on as you go and adjust the length to suit. The neckline is finished with a folded rib edge for a clean, polished look, and short rows are used to shape the neckline so it sits comfortably when worn.
The sleeves are three-quarter length, which makes this a really versatile piece, easy to layer and perfect for in-between seasons.
One thing to note with this pattern is the eyelet placement through the yoke. It’s worth taking a moment to read through that section before starting so everything lines up nicely under the armholes.
Yarn notes (this is key for this pattern)
This sweater is designed to be knit using two strands of laceweight “halo” yarn held together.
You’re looking for:
- a silk mohair or brushed lace yarn
- something light, airy, and slightly fluffy
Holding two strands together gives you:
- that soft, cloud-like fabric
- enough structure for the lace pattern to show clearly
If you’d prefer not to hold yarn double, you can look for a single strand equivalent:
- a light fingering to sport weight yarn with a halo
- or a very soft blown yarn
Just keep in mind:
- changing the yarn will change the overall look
- less halo = more defined stitches, less softness
- more halo = softer look, slightly more diffused lace detail
Sizing
The Fortune Sweater is designed with 15–25 cm of positive ease, depending on how relaxed you want the fit.
Sizes available:
XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL
To choose your size:
- measure your bust at the widest point
- add 15–25 cm depending on how you like your fit
- choose the size closest to that number
Example:
If you measure 95 cm, you’ll likely choose a size M for a relaxed fit.

- raglan construction
- managing pattern placement across shaping
A quick tip before you start
Because this is worked with a halo yarn and includes lace, blocking makes a huge difference.
Take the time to knit and block a swatch first, it will help you:
- get the right gauge
- see how the lace opens up
- and understand how your yarn behaves
