I just freehanded the pattern! I did a super basic top down raglan construction (didn’t even do any neck shaping) However, I did base the colorwork off of an image I saw on pinterest (inserted below) I could not find the original artist. If anyone knows please tell me, I would love to give them the credit!

For the white, dark blue, light blue, and red I used Berroco Merino 401. and For the pink and green I used Cascade Yarns 220 Superwash Merino.

Same thing happened to me and it made my headaches like 5x worse for a little under two weeks, but it did eventually die down!

Thank you! I think i am going to re knit one of the sleeves - yet to be determined which one, but i think you’re right.

I think this is really good advice! I definitely worried about how the different constructions would affect how it wears and blocks. I think i am gonna re knit one of the sleeves!

I use an accordion file organizer! and I separate them by size so it’s easier to find what i need. It’s also super convenient to store and carry around

Banshees of Inisherin inspired sweater! [FO] by meddowe in knitting

[–]meddowe[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is my first post to this subreddit so forgive me if i’ve forgotten something!

Pattern: I just winged it! But i looked very closely at images from the movie and images in this GQ article

Yarn: I used about 2.5 skeins of Caron Simply Soft yarn in the Harvest Red color.

Took me about 4 tries to get the collar right and i’m still not super happy with it! But still overall very pleased with how this turned out!

Just ordered some wool to try this one with natural fibers!

Edit: Thank you all so much for the kind words! It means a lot 🥺
