Made using between 550-615 yards, 503-562m (4.5 skeins for S/M, 5 skeins for L) of Magnum by Cascade and Q/15.75mm hook this piece works up quickly and would be a good 1st sweater project for an advanced beginner to tackle. Nothing too complicated with this one... minimal increasing at the bottom waist section is probably the most complicated part.
Pattern available as a PDF download. $6.50
I adore this! But before buying the pattern I'd like to be sure I am clear.... the middle picture is different and looks like an entirely different pattern. I also like it even more than the one I went to buy.... so the question is..... where is the pattern for that one?
ReplyDeleteAmazing work, all of your work!!!
Thank you...
Susynne, the middle picture is the knit version of the sweater that I designed a couple of years back. You can view it here: http://www.knit1la.com/2010/04/misti-brioche-honeycomb-sweater.html
ReplyDeleteThanks for your lovely comments!

So I'm a size 16 woman with a large bust -- the model (is that you) is very slim -- what do you think this would look like on a bigger woman?
ReplyDeleteI LOVE it!!
Hi Angelica, I think it would look fantastic! I know they say that bulky knits shouldn't be worn if you wear a larger size but having seen a lot of my designs on many body types I don't think that is necessarily true. Plus it's all in the attitude right?! I know I'm biased but I say make it! :)
ReplyDeleteI really like the color that you used. Can you tell me what color that is? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteIt's color #0010. A great winter white!
ReplyDeleteI love this pattern and purchased it last weekend. I was not familiar with Magnum yarn and did not realize that it has a fuzziness to it. Could you recommend another yarn to use? The owner of my local yarn shop suggested Malabrigo chunky. I am wondering what you think. Any suggestions would be very appreciated.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Magnum isn't tightly spun so yes, it does have a bit of a fuzz to it. The Malabrigo chunky I don't think is thick enough. They have a yarn called "Rasta" but I think it's a single ply like Magnum and might have that fuzziness as well? Not sure. Brown Sheep makes a yarn called "Burly Spun" that's spun a little bit tighter OR as much as I hate to steer you away from a LYS my sister made the knit version of this sweater using Lion's Brand Wool Ease Thick & Quick. It's thicker than the Malabrigo chunky and works well with a U hook... you might want to check that out. Hope this helps!
ReplyDeleteI bought the Magnum Capelet pattern and used Lion Brand Hometown USA yarn and it came out beautifully!!! So soft! I can't wait to buy this pattern too!
ReplyDeleteGood to hear Mindi! I just used that yarn for the first time a couple of weeks ago and it is so soft! Happy New Year!
DeleteDoes the pattern with pic instructions or graphics?
ReplyDeleteI really want to try making this but I'm not sure if i want to buy the pattern because i haven't made a sweater before and i hope the pattern won't be hard to understand
ReplyDeleteSend me an email and I can give you more information about the sweater that might help you make up your mind it this is a pattern for you. :)
