Understanding the Cold Shoulder Bell Sleeve Design

Cold shoulder bell sleeves are essentially constructed as two parts: the shoulder cut-out and the bell-shaped sleeve. Each part has its own unique shaping to create the final stylish look.

The Cold Shoulder Cut-Out

The cold shoulder cut-out is achieved by leaving an opening at the shoulder seam, exposing a small portion of the upper arm. This cut-out gives the sleeve its fashionable โ€œcold shoulderโ€ look, adding a modern element to the design.

  • Positioning: The cut-out typically starts at the shoulder area and extends just below the top of the arm.
  • Shaping: This cut-out is achieved by skipping stitches in a specific section and rejoining later on to continue with the sleeve.

The Bell Sleeve

The bell sleeve is the defining feature of this design, adding a touch of elegance and flow. The bell shape flares out towards the wrist, creating a loose and stylish look that pairs beautifully with the cold shoulder.

  • Gradual Increase: To create the bell shape, increase stitches gradually as you work down from the shoulder toward the wrist.
  • Length and Flare: You can customize the length and flare of the bell sleeve depending on your preference. A subtle flare offers a classic look, while a wider flare makes a bolder statement.
