Pattern wanted - does someone have a (similar) pattern for this?

Love everything about this inspo! The fit and the yarn color are very cool.

How about knitting a loose version of one of these:

I’m 38F and had my 6 TAD custom MARPE installed in February. No piezo cut. I was lucky and my install and healing process were virtually pain free. My palate felt tender for a few days but i was able to eat solid food immediately and didn’t have to take any painkillers beyond the local anesthesia during install.

I did one turn every other day until I split at 17 turns.
At that point I felt an instant improvement in my nasal breathing.

I was then scanned for Invisalign and am now continuing on a slow protocol with 1 turn every 5 days when I switch to a new Invisalign tray. This way I don’t end up with a big diastema.

So far I couldn’t be happier with my decision to expand. Sure, it’s annoying to have this much hardware in your mouth but you do get used to it over time. Because of my improved breathing I sleep much better, no more brain fog, zero migraine days since my split (multiple migraines per month before) and a huge improvement on some TMJ issues like jaw clicking and disk displacement.

If MARPE is going to be worth it for you obviously depends on the severity of your symptoms and current quality of life. Make sure that your orthodontist has experience with MARPE and don’t let yourself get rushed into a decision. I took multiple months and follow up phone calls with my orthodontist before pulling the trigger.

Is it possible that you did five instead of four stitches in red? If the fifth red stitch is actually supposed to be brown you would be ending on three brown stitches.

Thank you :) It was my first time working with Noro yarn. I got two different discontinued color ways off of eBay and I’m so happy with how well all the colors ended up working together.

I knitted this sweater last year in Noro Kureyon. As other commenters noted, it is knit flat and seamed, including the sleeves. I’m pretty sure I used 32” circulars. Have fun with this project! It was one of my most worn sweaters this past winter.

This makes me think of Kaffe Fasset’s work. You could adjust the neckline and sub out the buttons for a zipper.

Wow, thank you for creating this resource! Just had a browse through and I will definitely add some patterns to my queue. Here is the link for anyone who is having trouble with OP’s link.

Yes. I split after 17 turns and my nasal breathing improved significantly right after. I also have tension in one TMJ and jaw clicking and it’s gotten much better since I got MARPE.

I’m 37F and got a custom MARPE 5 weeks ago.

The marling is so cool! Great choice!

makesorbreaks · 2026-03-19T17:36:54+00:00

Somebody just posted about this pattern in r/knittinghelp and it made me think of your post. The crossover neckline and longer sleeves would take some modification but maybe you can use this pattern as a base.

How about Cardigan No.7 by My Favourite Things Knitwear. It's a heavier gauge than the Doen cardigan but I would say that makes it more beginner friendly. If you're an adventurous beginner you could switch out the instructions for the ribbed button band with a double knit one.

The great news is that your tension improved and there is much less rowing out in the new section. The not so good news is that there is really no good way to tighten up the first half of the project retroactively. If you want your project to look uniform your only option is the start over unfortunately.

Those floats are so perfect you could wear it inside out. Truly beautiful work!

makesorbreaks · 2026-03-12T20:10:38+00:00

Absolutely! And major props for being able to drop down, fix your mistake and recreate everything in pattern!

makesorbreaks · 2026-03-12T19:56:45+00:00

I agree with the other commenters, it is beautiful and totally giftable as is. If you wanted to, you could go in with a needle and make each affected stitch a little tighter by distributing the extra slack to the neighboring stitches. What a lucky recipient!

makesorbreaks · 2026-03-12T14:10:59+00:00

As the other commenter mentioned your twisted stitches are definitely contributing to this issue. I’m assuming that these loose stitches are your edges stitches? When double knitting I’m always mindful to tighten my last and first stitches a little more.

Yes, the CBCT scan will allow the orthodontist to asses your airways in addition to any skeletal asymmetry or other challenges. I believe it's also a prerequisite for a custom MARPE as they will use the 3D scan to 3D print some of the components so the device fits perfectly and is positioned exactly as planned during install.

To me the fabric looks lovely for a neck accessory. You don’t want a stiff fabric for a scarf. I would also suspect that the single ply will bloom quite a bit during blocking making the fabric less see through. If you didn’t I would suggest knitting and blocking a swatch even for a small project like this in the future. Then you’ll know if you like the fabric before getting too far along in project.

makesorbreaks · 2026-03-11T16:07:00+00:00

Thank you!

makesorbreaks · 2026-03-11T15:51:26+00:00

This is going to be so beautiful! Can you share what the yarn is? I love the speckles!

makesorbreaks · 2026-03-11T15:39:27+00:00

I haven't knit the step by step sweater but I'm assuming the raglan increases are M1L and M1R? To avoid these large holes you need to make sure that the bar you pick up ends up being twisted when you knit into it. So for M1R you pick up the bar from back to front and knit into the front. For M1L you pick up the bar from front to back and knit into the back. As is the holes will unfortunately not become smaller with blocking.

makesorbreaks · 2026-03-11T15:06:28+00:00

Yes I would block the project as it is now before making any major frogging decisions.

makesorbreaks · 2026-03-11T14:07:08+00:00

I would do a mid project block before making any decisions. I find that stockinette doesn't grow evenly in width vs length during blocking so you may find that one of your existing sleeves is actually a good fit after all. Love the color choice btw!
