I did it again! Do you think I have enough sweaters now???
This one is made using the same pattern as my previous sweater except I decided to go one size down (A) and modify the sleeves.
The sleeves ˋ°•*⁀➷
I'll drop the link to the pattern again because it's excellent, it is pay what you want and has a video tutorial. It's called the Step by Step sweater by Florence Miller: pattern
This was a bit of a stashbuster to use up some leftover yarn hence why the colorwork is all over the place and asymmetrical, I basically knitted with the cream fleck until I was close to running out then transitioned into colorwork.
Technical details
- Size: A
- 6mm needle for the body / 5mm needle for the ribbing
- used 2x2 rib instead of 1x1
- Did YO sleeve increases every third row until I doubled the stitch count then right at the cuff did K2TOG until I had 40 stitches
- I used the Ruke bind off for the sleeve and hem ribbing (there are great tutorials on YT)
- The colorwork is just a very simple switch between two colors every stitch
- added a small duplicate stitch cross at the back neckline so I don't have to lay it down to see which side is the back ( it has short rows so the back is slightly higher)
A closer shot of the colorwork:
My next project is to learn how to knit socks, I have decided I'm ready and I would really like some wool socks for winter because I always have cold feet!
