Inspired by my love of Anne of Green Gables, I've always had a fondness for puffed sleeves. Searching through recently completed projects, sweaters with voluminous puffed sleeves stood out to me as both cozy and distinctive.
I love the confident smiles and elegance shown here in the project pics from CrochetHighway's Cosmopolitan Sweater Design Sample 2, ddearbear's stalactite, and Musiqstr's Persephone Pullover.
MelissaLu's Chantilly Cardigan, SarahsYarns86's Oxford Cardigan, and PaulinaSmith's Pop Cardi Test are stand-out neutral cardigans; I love the rich textures and interesting details!
Clockwise from top left: litlaprjonabudin's Stapi, edujrc's Lawrenson Sweater, marielsarah's Anne's Puffed Sleeves, and ZadaHathaway's Oxford Jumper all suit their crafters perfectly and showcase a range of puffed sleeve styles.
