[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]At last I have finished my first argyle sweater for my husband. I have made the lines in duplicate stitch but the colors then became duller and we decided (me and my husband) that without the lines the sweater looks more elegant and bright.[/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]To be honest will never knit with that yarn any more! Every smallest fault or uneven stitch is extremely visible. Husband can’t wear that sweater over the shirt because every seam or fold of the shirt is visible and spoils the look of the sweater. Only advantage of this yarn – softness. [/SIZE][/FONT]
That looks amazing!! What pattern did you use? The only thing my husbands wants me to make him is an argyle sweater and I can’t seem to find it anywhere. :nails: Figures, huh?
[COLOR=black]Thank You all for Your compliments. The pattern and description I will post later (I should scan). Now I should take to bed my two babies. In Lithuania now is evening (GMT+2). [/COLOR]
[SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]The only sweater my husband wanted was argyle sweater too! I searched for the pattern also quite long. I used the 1st pattern for the relation between the argyles and the second scheme for the argyles themselves. If You will knit 1 row for 1 step You will get squat (low) argyles (sorry for my English). How many rows to knit You should decide by Yourself it depends how big do you want them, how thick is Your yarn etc. I knitted 3 samples to get the right size of the argyles. [/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]I really enjoyed knitting the argyles but that plane back and sleeves……[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Good luck and much fun by knitting![/SIZE][/FONT]
