My second attempt at Snug is done!! This pattern is by Hinke.
This is not my first swing at this pattern and it won’t be the last! I used 212 grams or 288.3 yards of Knit Picks Brava Bulkly in Peapod. That’s just about 2 skeins plush a little of a third skein. The body is worked flat. The sleeves are done on DPNs. And the hood is knit flat and closed withe Kitchener stitch.
I was not has happy with this sweater as I was with my first sweater.Β The shoulders are ugly to me. For whatever reason, I didn’t get the arm decreases placed very well. They are visible along the top. And the the sewing I did on the seams on the shoulders is not as clean as I would like. But I am assured by my husband that he can’t see it. Oh…#knitter problems
The part of this sweater that I really love is the buttons. I spotted them at JoAnns and I was in love!! The watermelons really save this project for me. I deviated from the pattern a bit and added four buttons instead of the pattern request of three.
Into the FO stash this one goes. I love having some cuteness hidden away for a rainy day! Happy Friday to all!!!




Very cute! I like the buttons too π
Those buttons are great! It is a cute sweater, in spite of you thinking it isn’t perfect. π
It will still keep a wee one warm, so I’m going to get over myself lol
lol you will make it better and better, you know that, right? You will tweak the pattern until itis perfect.
Oh, ye gods and little fishes, those BUTTONS! I am deeply obsessed, and wish I could see this on a tiny human.
This comment made my day π
Well, you achieved the rare and perfect harmony between sweater and buttons. You deserve to have a good day!
Those buttons are amazing!! I think the whole thing is darling.
Brill buttons. X
I think it looks great! Just remember, we notice our mistakes because we know they’re there. I’m sure no one else will see any flaws. π
You are such a prolific knitter. I wish I could knit as many projects as you do!
