New Crocheted Sweater Pattern Published

[AmyOH]

Hi All--I published a new pattern this week--The Half Crazy Sweater:

 

 

It's crocheted using a Victorian-inspired stitch in DK yarn, and it's made entirely of rectangles! Sideways construction of the front and back means that it's very easy to customize the fit to your exact specifications, and I give instructions to do so in the pattern. It was very fun to crochet--the yarn I used (Tili Tomas Fil de La Mer) has very subtle variations in light blue color and I can easily get mesmerized watching them shift. It would be great worked in any silky yarn--soy, bamboo, silk, etc.

 

The pattern is available via my blog or ravelry.

 

Cheers!

Very nice.

What a lovely design. The draping of the yarn picks up the shading variations really nicely.

That's very nice. By sideways do you mean vertically or horizontal.

Lovely design!

Hi There--by sideways, I mean it's worked from side edge to side edge (the crocheted fabric is turned on its side) instead of being worked from the hem (waist) to the neck.

 

I hope that helps.

 

That's very nice. By sideways do you mean vertically or horizontal.

That is a pretty sweater! Neat idea to work the pattern stitch sideways for a unique look and to create the pretty edges.

Beautiful sweater. One of the first ones I did was a short sleeve one that went side to side and I accidentially added an extra row, but that worked out perfect because it fit better, wasn't too tight.

Thanks Debbi--that's one of the advantages of the sideways construction--you can even hold it up to your body as you go and just see if it's wide enough--you could, I supose also make the front wider than the back if that made for a better fit.

 

Cheers,
