Short sleeved sweater?

[ShannonCC]

Is there such a thing? Every year I wear a sweater in the winter and I always roll up the sleeves.

 

It's a bit chilly and I have my (store bought and totally falling apart) sweater on with the sleeves rolled up and suddenly thought - duh - why not just make a short sleeved sweater?

 

Would that look totally dorky or is there such a thing?

 

Anyone?

I don't see any reason why that couldn't work...I think it's a totally do-able idea!

My favorite thing to borrow while at my grandmas was her crocheted fuschia short sleeved sweater. She gave it to me when I was in my 30's. She died in 1998 at the age of 95 --- so if she had one that I remember from my childhood and have owned for 22 years then I'm sure there has to be a pattern somewhere. It's still in my closet and still gets used. Now I want to find a pattern and try to make one.....

Ok, still figuring out this subscription thing

 

Thanks! I looked around this site and found some short sleeve shrugs. I don't want a shrug though, I want it longer. But then, maybe I can just make a sweater and not finish the sleeves

In the new Lion Brand catalog, there is a very cute shrug that has short sleeves. I was going to order the pattern because I too, am always rolling up the sleeves on sweaters. To me, this would be perfect.

Good luck in finding what you need.

Debbie Stoller's book (Tha Happy Hooker) has an adorable short sleeved sweater in it. Fairly simple pattern, too. It's called "Cupcake"
