Same Pattern, Different Bodies: Cashmerette Tobin Sweater

The Cashmerette Tobin is a sweater pattern with a ton of options: View A features a split neck, chic color-blocking, and wide cuffs, View B has a cowl neck and swingy high-low hem, while View C is a classic sweatshirt.

The sizing goes from a 40 inch bust to a 58 inch bust and from a 42 inch hip to a 58 inch hip. As well, Cashmerette patterns include three different cup sizes: C/D, E/F, and G/H. The pattern also comes in either PDF or printed.

Measurements: My measurements are 52 inch bust, 48 inch waist, 56 inch hip.

Body Shape: Shapeless Void

Pattern size: I made a size 22 graded to a 28 at the hip with a G/H cup size. This is my usual size with Cashmerette patterns.

Alterations: None. My Tobin sweater is made using view A but omitting the buttons since I am not a fan of adding non-functional buttons to garments.

Fabric: I used a rayon blend striped white and coral ponte knit for the main and a navy ponte knit for the contrast. Note that I made a mistake with the orientation of the split neck cowl, but I am okay with it.

Fit: I think the fit is spot on. Originally, I though about maybe lowering the darts since that is a common adjustment for me with Cashmerette, but I think it looks good in these pictures. It’s possible I wasn’t wearing a good bra when I tried it on initially. LOL.

Changes for Future Versions: None

Final Thoughts: I love my Tobin sweater and have plans for so many more. It’s such a great pattern and I love the options. Next up, I plan on making view B in a lovely hacci sweater knit from my stash.
