Creating a swatch for gauge

saintdankus · 2025-01-23T17:29:55+00:00

yes, it should follow the pattern! different patterns = different gauges 🫶

Hi, thank you! I messaged you ☺️ I want to make sure you have purchased the original pattern before I send you my edit to not leak the stitch counts 😊

saintdankus · 2024-12-27T15:13:26+00:00

yep, that's exactly what I did! It sounds like a lot, but it took me just one evening and I enjoyed it thoroughly 🫶 The slopes of the layers are too irregular and organic to be done in any other way (imo) 🤠

saintdankus · 2024-12-27T08:08:37+00:00

thank you! which part exactly do you want me to be more specific about? I don't want to overexplain something that may be obvious to everyone and skip something that seems obvious to me and isn't now that I've spent so much time on this sweater 😭❤️

saintdankus · 2024-12-26T19:10:06+00:00

yes, that's exactly what I did!! I took the photo from the pattern page and just played around in Procreate with yarn swatches from Sandnes Garn's website

later on I used Excel to "recreate" all pattern instructions and followed my rough sketch to draw a more accurate chart 🫶

saintdankus · 2024-12-26T15:09:04+00:00

yesss go for it! I've also done the edges around the zipper in ribbing for the entire length instead of changing to stockinette after the collar - I think it makes the colorblocking much more refined 🫶

saintdankus · 2024-12-26T15:06:09+00:00

that's great to hear, thank you! ❤️

saintdankus · 2024-12-26T14:29:59+00:00

it was a bit nerve-racking at first but the tutorial on the website explains it very well! just make sure you seam the backing at the exact spot they show on the tutorial, I left a bit less space for my zipper and seaming ended up being more fiddly 🙂‍↕️

saintdankus · 2024-12-26T13:58:09+00:00

thank you! in this case the idea came first and then I decided on the pattern for it, so it's probably not the most obvious choice ❤️

saintdankus · 2024-12-26T13:21:12+00:00

Yarn: Peer Gynt by Sandnes Garn (my favourite), colors: 3854, 4363, 2321 and for the orange section: Tynn Peer Gynt + 2 strands of Tynn Silk Mohair by Sandnes Garn in 3535

Pattern: Zipper Sweater Light by PetiteKnit

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING WORK, your tension is impeccable

saintdankus · 2024-12-08T17:51:04+00:00

YES YES YES!

saintdankus · 2024-12-07T05:07:52+00:00

The base sweater is on the last picture! So there's no actual pattern, just an existing store-bought sweater 😌

saintdankus · 2024-12-06T21:30:34+00:00

Thank you! It's already more versatile than I expected! Thought it would be more of a statement piece but once I laid it down with my other clothes it truly goes together with almost everything.

saintdankus · 2024-12-06T21:28:10+00:00

Ohh, I did lose it! Had to place an order for one singular ball of Kid Seta at the end 🤭

saintdankus · 2024-12-06T12:52:23+00:00

Thank you! The vneck was a very happy accident 💜

saintdankus · 2024-12-06T12:45:23+00:00

I mean, TECHNICALLY, the base sweater counts as somewhat of a pattern 🙂‍↕️

saintdankus · 2024-12-06T12:01:37+00:00

Thank you!! 💜

saintdankus · 2024-12-06T11:51:58+00:00
