This sweater was completed before Christmas, in a deep jewel tone that I think is wonderful for the winter time. It also goes really well with some patterned corduroy pants I have.
The Pattern
The pattern, called "Sahara" is from Stitch Diva Studios. I love all of their designs, which are quite stylish and form-fitting. It’s just amazing the patterns they have for crochet too: who knew you could make something you’d actually want to wear with crochet? Anyhow, what’s also nice about the Sahara pattern is that you can knit it to fit your body, adding or subtracting the increase/decrease element to suit your taste or to modify the style of the sweater. You can also adjust the depth of the "v" neck, to make it more or less plunging.
Here are the details:
- Pattern: Sahara from Stitch Diva, by Wendy Bernard
- Tilli Thomas Pure and Simple for the body, Disco Lights for the neck and bands (Don’t click if you hate drooling)
- Totally adjustable: sleeves, neckline, hem length
That’s about perfect! Especially since the pattern (check out the link to the pattern to see), is made-up for a total barbie doll. (I mean, really, how many women who knit have protruding hip bones, for Pete’s sake?) And sure, if you have a size A- bra cup, then feel free to plunge that baby right down to your belly button, because nothing’s gonna fall out. All the rest of us have to be a bit more circumspect, thank you.
