Love how this one turned out. Pattern here: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/sassafras-pullover

Modified to give it cuffs and bit more of a tighter look.

That’s very pretty. I prefer your version with the cuffs and longer bottom ribbing. I think I’m putting this one on my list!

I definitely love how it came out but it was definitely a weird one to make just to give you some warning. To keep the same pattern on the sleeves its knit up flat like a poncho including the arms. Did have to spend some time figuring out along the way.

It wasn't excruciatingly difficult or anything. Just a bit out of the ordinary, overall I'm happy with the results and don't regret doing it.

Thanks for the warning. I would definitely want to copy your sleeve cuffs then, if only to give myself some wiggle room in getting the sleeve length right!

I love chunky sweaters - this looks super comfy! is there a little bit of variegation in the yarn you used?

[–] Zarangatang 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah there is! Here is the yarn I used. Not all the colors are variegated but the forest green was and it was just what I was looking for.

Neat! The color change is really subtle and gives a nice dimension without overwhelming the stitch pattern. :)

I like the texture of that pattern and the sweater looks really cozy.
