Comfort Formula Sweater - Pattern Release

Warm and cozy yarn + perfect fit = Comfort Formula Sweater. :)) Today I'd like to share my new sweater  design. 

This sweater turned out great and is often used in my everyday wardrobe. It can be combined with most items and worn under any jacket or coat.

The sweaters design is very simple with a few interesting features. It is knitted with curve bottom hem which helps to make the silhouette slightly longer. Also, to add a little bit of decorative elements I used double raglan decreases for shoulder shaping. 

Back, Front and both sleeves are knitted bottom up on straight needles. The neck band is knitted in the round. 

For this sweater I used Aran weight yarn and US8 (5.0 mm) knitting needles. So, it is quite fast project. 

I used The Croft Shetland Tweed Aran by West Yorkshire Spinners. This yarn has a beautiful  colour palette, creates nice and soft fabric. However, it is slightly itchy to be worn next to the skin. I prefer to wear this wool with long sleeve t-shirt underneath for extra comfort.

Knitting pattern for Comfort Formula Sweater is written for sizes from XS up to 2XL and available from Ravelry and Lovecrafts. 

To celebrate the pattern release I'd like to offer 15% off on Ravelry with code COMFORT15 Offer valid until 15th of February

Big Temptations Sweater - pattern release

Following the child Temptation Sweater pattern I’m happy to share the adult version of it. Pattern name is Big Temptation Sweater

Pattern for Big Temptation Sweater is size inclusive and written for wide range of sizes from XS to 4XL.

This comfortable sweater will keep you warm and cozy through the winter’s cold and freeze. It is designed with plenty of positive fit, dropped shoulders and high collar. Wide beautiful cable with bobbles makes Big Temptation sweater a true stand out piece. The special shaping of side seams creates unusual look so sweater’s bottom band does not look too wide and too lose. 

This design is a real pleasure for those who love cables. Despite so many cables, the sweater doesn’t look overloaded with details and it wouldn’t add you some visual weight like most cable sweaters do

I used Hudson Worsted yarn from the Yarn Collective for this sweater. The yarn is so soft and gentle to skin, has pretty colour palette and keep the shape after blocking.  

Also, the sweater can be knitted with Aran or light chunky yarns. The following yarn substitutes can be used for this sweater:

- Garnstudio DROPS Nepal

- West Yorkshire Spinners Fleece Bluefaced Leicester Aran

- Rowan Pure Wool Superwash Worsted

- Mary Maxim Woodlands
