sad little pole sweater
I was already having a bad day and then this. Sigh. Who would even do such a thing?? I guess it was getting really old and ratty but I saw someone take a photo of it LAST WEEK. Anywayyyy I decided to not let it get the best of me, and instead I wanted to make an even BETTER pole sweater! After all, I have an entire closet of yarn that is getting a little out of hand.
I found some yarn that I bought last year that I absolutely love but haven't found a project to use it for. As I cast on I guessed at how wide I should make, and thought it would look nice with a heart in the middle so added that in too. In the end it fit perfectly!! And now I can share the pattern with y'all. Here it is. Materials: - 1 ball of Super Bulky yarn (I used - Red Heart Vivid yarn - this stuff is EXTRA bulky fyi) - some excess yarn in a different color (I used Wool-Ease Thick & Quick - not as bulky but still fine) - 1 pair of US size 19 (15mm) knitting needles (I like to use circular needles) - 1 tapestry needle - scissors Pattern: Cast on 23 stitches Rows 1-5: knit Row 6: purl Row 7-17: use stockinette stitch (knit odd rows, purl even rows) while working in the heart pattern with your contrast colour Row 18-21: continue in stockinette (your heart should be complete) Row 22-27: knit Row 28: bind off with a long tail
heart pattern from Craft Passion
Assembly:
- Using your tapestry needle, sew the sides together with the telephone pole in the middle. To have extra security, sew it up and then back down again
- Cut any extra yarn and hid the ends on the other side of the sweater
Finished!! Enjoy your little sweater pole, and hope that no one cuts it down the middle, at least not for the first 2 years ;)
Goldie guards to make sure no one will cut it off
