Ladies and gentlemen….we have a winner!
I had to add almost 5 inches of garter stitch to the bottom of this sweater. But you know what? It looks pretty darn good! This is now a very comfy and gorgeous sweater.
Pattern: Sprout Cardigan
Yarn: Berroco Comfort Chunky in Pumpkin
Size: Medium (I should have made the large)
Needles: US 9
Even with all my struggles with this sweater, I still love it. This is definitely a keeper in my wardrobe. Not to mention on of the few sweaters that fit around the growing baby bump. I think all of my initial problems would have been solved by simply making the large sweater. The large version better fits my torso length even those my bust measurement matches up with the medium. Please don’t let my struggles deter anyone from this pattern. It is a pretty nifty garment!!
Happy Friday and Happy Knitting!
Yay! I’m so glad your mods worked and it’s totally wearable! It looks like a great layering piece for the Fall.
Once your Little One arrives, stick a nursing tank underneath and you’ll be comfy and covered with “easy access.” π
Great idea!
It turned out great!
Absolutely awesome! So glad you are happy with it,and you look happy in it!!! π
It was worth the fight
You did it! and it’s beautiful! π
Thanks!
I like the garter stitch band on the bottom, and what a great color!
As accidental design elements go, I was pleased!
I love how it turned out. Great save.
Thanks!
Looks great! I’ve got it in my Ravelry library now so I can make one too. I love knitting with Sprout.
I’m so glad it was a success! It looks quite good on you π
It’s great. I’m not sure you’d need a large, it fits you perfectly over the shoulders and if you knit too bit it’s obvious.
Its lovely, looks great with bump too π
That looks super cute! I imagine it’s doubly awesome to have knitwear you can wear pre- AND post-baby.
That worked out really, really well! π β€ β€
