I saw this in the October 2006 issue of “Real Simple” magazine, and I thought it was cool…after all, it is made from alpaca, so it has to be awesome, right??? :drool: How hard would something like this be to knit? Would I need a pattern necessarily, or just a basic knowledge of how to knit sleeves and such? Where might I find a pattern for knitting something like this? And also, what might comparable alpaca yarn for this project run?
Update–I think I found a pattern for this…does this pattern seem to be the same garment?
That pattern seems extremely similar to that garment pictured. I would say it would be intermediate/beginner. You really only need to know how to knit,purl, increase, decrease, and seam. and I would say GO FOR IT! They are similar enough, and easy enough!
I liked the fact that the garment in the magazine was a versatile piece, but I really can’t justify $195. I just have to figure out how to adjust that pattern to fit a larger bust. :shrug: The largest size is 38" and I’m 44". :??
