The October Sweater by Standard Knits (it has pockets!)

â â € Now available, the pattern for #TheOctoberSweater! â–¡â–¡âœ¨â â € â â € â This sweater started as a dream to create an oversized cable-knit sweater that would keep me toasty warm through the cold months. I wanted a sweater like this to last me years and years, and after a lot of math and hard work â–¡, I'm so happy that it's now a staple in my wardrobe â–¡â â € â â € This sweater is knit in pieces and seamed before the collar is picked up, and includes generous pockets, thumbholes, and thick satisfying cables! â â € â â € The October sweater is currently on Ravelry, and you can use code OCTOBER20 to receive 20% off the pattern through Saturday October 31 (PST). If you are unable or choose not to use Ravelry, please let me know and I will hook you up! I apologize for not yet having an alternative option for my shop, I am working on it. â â € â â € The most suitable yarns for The October Sweater will be at least bulky weight, and have a similar or lighter weight-to-length ratio as the yarn used for the sample, Julie Asselin Douillet. When swatching to test gauge, your fabric should feel tight and have minimal drape. @julie_asselin currently has six beautiful colourways of Douillet available in their Etsy shop! You can see them all by clicking the link in Julie's bio and following the link to Etsy â–¡â â € â â € I am so thankful for the enormous amount of help I received from my group of awesome and generous test knitters, and from @woolgatherer.knits who tech edited this pattern. Thank you also to my model @sherriberry3 who agreed to spend a fair amount of our vacation modelling knitwear for my photoshoots â–¡â â € â â € -------â â € â â € Size: Chest Circumference (finished measurements): 47 (51, 55, 59) [63, 67, 69.5, 72.5]â€ / 117.5 (127.5, 137.5, 147.5) [157.5, 167.5, 174, 181.5] cm; referred to in pattern as 1 (2, 3, 4) [5, 6, 7, 8].â â € â â € Intended ease: approximately 10 â€“ 16â€ / 25 â€“ 40 cm positive ease in chest. Shown in 47â€ / 117.5 cm size with 10" / 25 cm of positive ease.â â € â â € #JulieAsselin #StandardKnits #JulieAsselinDouillet
