KNIT STAR ALEXANDRA TAVEL
of Two of Wands
created this sweater pattern for her Knit Stars Debut in Season 8.
Her course is called the Duality of Knits and Crochet.
So she demos her pattern in both styles of handwork.
It has become one of my very favorite patterns to knit up.
It looks a bit difficult in it's textural Andalusian Pattern Stitch,
but it's super easy!
I like it so much that I'm almost done with another one.
Will I ever do an adult size of this pattern?
Probably not because I'd be scared I wouldn't finish it.
Baby/child size are more doable for me.
In Season 8 of Knit Stars,
Alexander demos on a baby sweater so I just followed her demo.
and changed up the neck a bit.
It's supposed to be a full turtleneck
but I thought it would be a bit uncomfortable for a baby,
so I altered it to a half turtleneck with a stockinette roll over finish.
This baby demo will probably fit up to 12 months.
I also learned a new bind-off called a Tubular Bind Off
which is super stretchy and so much fun to do.
This photo is a truer example of the colors
even though I took both pix at same time in same light.
Weird??
Can't remember where I got the yarn but it's a worsted weight
in a super soft Merino wool.
And it washes up in the sink (wool wash) and dries beautifully.
And I felt the colors could be worn by either a girl or a boy,
although I'm not even sure if that's a thing anymore??
Ha ha
