slouchy cardigan
Friday, July 30, 2010This is the one knit that I feel would be a great first sweater for someone. Very little rib. (One row, I did two.) A few simple decreases. Stockinette. And voila. You have yourself a sweater that can be worn over and over. Over jeans. Over a dress. Over slacks. Over a skirt. And most importantly, over your jammies.
I'm as happy with this one as I am with my first one. I made one change. The pattern says that the hood is optional. Good. I opted out. I decided I was pretty much ready to be finished with it, and would love to have some extra charmed to make a pair of toast mitts.
Pattern: Slouchy Cardigan, Greetings from Knit Cafe (I see it is currently out of stock at Amazon. Hurry, call your library!)

ACK! That's it! You found my next sweater project for me! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI bought this book when I saw your first slouchy but all the notes on ravelry about the sleeve cap being written wrong deterred me. Now that I have a few years of knitting experience (and your notes) I think I can finally tackle this one.
ReplyDeleteYours looks gorgeous!
Wow...looks fantastic!!! adding to my favs.
ReplyDeleteI love slouchy cardigans! This one looks fab, love the colour :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks so great on you. It must be the softest sweater EVer!
ReplyDeleteI'm so impressed when someone makes something more than ones! WOW. And what a great sweater.
ReplyDeleteI really like your sweater. Mine is still stuffed in a bag. Thank you for sharing the corrections. This might be the reason I put it away in the first place. I was frustrated with the wrong number of stitches. argh!
ReplyDeletei've had this faved in ravelry since 2007 (after seeing your first one) and i cannot think why i haven't knit it yet. your new green one has now got me motivated. favorite sweater ever? that's all i need to hear! it's fabulous, leslie.

Seriously FAB. What a great sweater!
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting such a thorough review. I am just getting ready to start this sweater and I SO appreciate knowing about the changes and corrections that you made. I have the errata from amazon but so nice not to have to slog alone through the sleeve cap. No if I could just look as good wearing it as you do.
ReplyDeletethink I could do it?!
ReplyDelete(I still haven't finished the one HUGE scarf I started a year and a half ago- my first knitting project ever.)
:)
Hm. THIRTY years of knitting, and until you just wrote, in your cap shaping description: "Every other right side row... (so every four rows)" I never realized I've been doing it wrong THE WHOLE TIME! I just always saw it as "every other row, on the right side..." What an ijit I am, I tell ya'.
ReplyDeleteAnother gorgeous knit! I love that color too. Looks like you are ready for fall now!
ReplyDeleteI bought the book and some yarn, when you posted about it a month or whenever that was. I am four inches into it! My avery FIRST sweater! Thank you for sharing it and about the sleeves....I would have been bummed.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love it!
ReplyDeleteThe color, the shape, and I like it even better without the hood!
Sometime, could you report to us about the month of green smoothies? Did you feel better, or have more energy or anything? I was thinking of trying it, but I want to KNOW that I'll feel better before I go to that much trouble!
This cardigan does look lovely, and you are a friend indeed to knit with. How good you are to pass along the slight adjustments, corrections, comments on the original pattern.
ReplyDeleteThat is what knitting friends are for.
Best wishes.
Love...as always! I have that book too! I need to make this one! Happy rest of the summer Leslie!
ReplyDeleteYet another beautiful sweater. Great work! This will definitely be in my autumn "things to knit". Thanks for sharing your modifications.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous sweater - again! And I have the book - yay - high five! Thank you for all of your work on errata - I'll have to try this one!
ReplyDeleteI have purchased the yarn and already had the pattern to make this sweater. I so appreciate your pattern corrections as I don't want to be disappointed. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteooh. maybe that'll be my fall project. looks so comfy!
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful sweater. I love the color!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful! -must get the book now-
ReplyDeleteWow. It looks so nice!
ReplyDeleteGood to know! There are so many patterns to choose from... Yours is gorgeous and seems so cozy...
ReplyDeleteI love your cardigan! I also appreciate you letting us know about how you did the sleeve cap. Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a versitile cardigan. It looks beautiful on you!
ReplyDeleteOOO, I was right! This is even more perfect than the first one! Fabulous color! Think I am going to scrap some of my other faved projects and do this one instead, as I can tell this would truly be a wear all the time thing!~Jan
ReplyDeleteI can see this being the go-to sweater forevermore! it's a perfect fit for you. Beautiful beautiful. Thanks for reminding me how much I like that pattern too :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing; I loved your first one and this is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLooks lovely. Beautiful colour.
ReplyDeleteI was so inspired by your first slouchy and I've finally started on one for me...Im half way through the back and am sooo happy I'm slow b/c now I have your updated sleeve cap notes which will save me many hours of frustration, not to mention all those expletives ;) Thank you!
ReplyDeleteWow, I love this sweater. It does look like something that wants and needs to be worn everyday, which is perfect.
ReplyDeletei love it on you, leslie! and of course, the color is about perfect. i might have to add this to my list of things to make. first to finish the 2 i have on needles.
ReplyDeleteVery cute and very versatile. If I ever finish my first sweater *Francis Revisited (Ravelry)* I'll be able to consider a second and third. Francis is resting quietly in a project bag... Something to look forward to. The slouchy cardigan looks great on you.
ReplyDeletethis is such a great sweater...so comfy looking too. Wonderful job Leslie. Kristyn and I drooled when we saw your post come across my dashboard....you are so amazing.
ReplyDeleteOver jammies?!!!! You are too much!! It looks great no matter what.
ReplyDeleteThis looks great! For such a simple pattern it looks so different from the first (moreso the yarn than the hood). It looks like a great pattern to showcase a yummy yarn.
ReplyDeleteIt looks wonderfully comfy.
ReplyDeleteNice cardi! great colour Daisy Dayz Home
ReplyDeleteCan you believe I searched high and low for a cardigan pattern just for me...because of course I NEVER knit for me....and I just started one over the weekend...well, this one will be next...thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI love this one as much as your first. It's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI'm in knitting heaven! I'm a first time knitter, thanks to Freckle Head stating that it was a nice stress reliever and since I adored her scarf I decided to make my own. I'm currently having an aboslute blast and now I'm in awe of the sweaters your create!
ReplyDeleteMabye one day I'll be a knitting star!
can't say LOVE loud enough! a sweater for every purpose, that's what I desire. enjoy wearing it while we all adore it!
ReplyDeleteI loved this sweater the minute I saw it on your blog, and tried to get the book on Amazon, but it was out.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I am happy to say you can get the book in paperback at Amazon. It is in my cart awaiting purchase.
Thank you. We all need a Friend to Knit With and I am glad I found you.
Deanna
I can think of no better recommendation for a pattern than when a great knitter makes it more than once. Yours turned out beautifully, and it looks soooo comfortable
ReplyDeletethanks leslie! i have not made a sweater that i can reasonably wear yet...and i think that has hurt my knitting momentum...i might give this one a try, and i already have the book!
ReplyDeleteThat's it, I've decided to knit the slouchy! I have just received the perfect alpaca yarn for it too. Seeing yours really makes me want one for myself.
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely! Wish I'd read your post more carefully though - it clearly gives the sizes in the pattern, but (though I hate to admit it!) both are too small for me. Euch. I'm so upset, because your slouchy looks totally gorgeous. Anyone know where I can find out how to upsize the pattern relatively easily?!!
ReplyDeleteI would love to make this sweater! Can you suggest another yarn
ReplyDeleteSuper cute!
ReplyDeleteevery time I see this pattern, I think, "Ugh, shapeless!" But I see yours and it's beautiful! How is that possible?
ReplyDeleteYes!
ReplyDeleteJust put the book on hold at the library. It's exactly perfectly the next project in line.
And that green is delicious!
This is the type of sweater that I could really get into making. Just gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteI hope I get as much use out of mine as you do! Its taken me AGES and repeated re-knits before I finally found the errata (lots of 'em!). I have a sneaky suspicion that by the time I finish it, I'll not want to look at it again!
ReplyDelete"Remember to check out the pattern corrections"
ReplyDeleteUm, is it just me, or are there a LOT of corrections for the first printing???
BTW - I really like this second version of yours - the color is lovely. Thanks for the tips on the sleeve cap.
Jennifer in KS
leslie, you make me want to become a knitter. i've been anxious to try knitting a sweater...this one just may be it! thanks for the tips.
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful one!!! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteLove this sweater! Made one for my mother last christmas without any CORRECTIONS! UGG! and had to stretch the sleeves to fit. Found corrections later and am now knitting one for myself (to wear with my pjs) 2 of my friends are knitting as well. After finishing all my pieces and looking at the sleeves that once again will not fit I decided to log on ravelry in the off chance someone had a solution - and I found you - THANK YOU SO MUCH for the correction - my 1st sleeve is sitting in my lap as I type ripped back to "Shape Cap" so here I go again. I know it will be well worth the effort. I'm doing it in Sublime Angora Merino - I Love It! I'm sure I will be making another - possibly without the hood. Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteThis sweater is sooooo cute. I just ordered a used-like new copy of the Knit Cafe book thru Amazon for $8.49 including shipping. Thanks for the project (and book) idea!
ReplyDeleteI am working on the Slouchy Cardigan, and have the back and left (or right side depending) already finished and blocked. Now, my question....this is my first sweater, and when it says to reverse the shaping for the right side of the front---well, does that mean to BO on the WS/on the way back? I mean, I can't BO at the END of the knit row, I'll end up with a loop still on the needle. Help!
ReplyDeletehi carol!
ReplyDeletei hope you come back here to see if i left a comment...:)
yes... bind off at the beg of the purl row. the ws row.
happy knitting!
leslie

Anyway, in my language, there are usually not a lot good source like this.

ReplyDeleteYour weblog is fine. I just wish to comment on the design. Its too loud. Its doing way an excessive amount of and it takes away from what you received to say --which I feel is basically important. I dont know if you happen to didnt suppose that your phrases could maintain everyone attention, however you had been wrong. Anyway, in my language, there aren't a lot good source like this.
ReplyDeleteCan I make a suggestion? I feel youve bought something good here. But what should you added a couple links to a web page that backs up what youre saying? Or possibly you would give us one thing to take a look at, one thing that may connect what youre saying to something tangible? Only a suggestion. Anyway, in my language, there aren't a lot good source like this.
