Difficulty:

Category: Knitting

Type of item: Clothing

For: Women

Style: Hipster, Casual, Retro / Vintage, Funky


Materials

Yarn: aprox. 442(492, 662, 882, 1000, 1200) yards worsted to heavy worsted weight, any fiber content. Needle: US 8 (5 mm) (or size to achieve correct gauge) 24?? or longer circular needle, and DPN, long circ, or 2 circs for sleeves.

What was your inspiration?

In this sweater, the yarn came before the design. I had hand dyed a batch of Blue Faced Leichester yarn in a very limited amount and wanted to make something small to show it off.

What are you most proud of?

Making a pattern that looks great on a range of sizes & body types.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Try switching to a smaller needle to knit the neckline trim.
