FO: Mens' Simple Sweater

[albertpollard]

Here is the finished project. Finally a sweater of my own! Now back to the sweatshop for my wife. :roflhard:
Izzy thinks it should be her sweater. I suppose she is next.

That's a great sweater! What yarn did you use?

[margz3]

Nice work - fits great :thumbsup: I like the color too :)

The simplest styles on men are always the best, and they say men like simple styles! There is a great book called "Knitting a Sweater that He Will Wear!" It is really an eye-opener!

Your sweater is just wonderful! Well knit, good fit, and great color for him!

I like it very much. I think a simple sweater with clean lines looks best on men. I really like the length of the sleeves - nothing worse than skimpy sleeves on men!!!

[MerigoldinWA]

Very nice sweater! :cheering: Looks great on you. Can't do it all for the wife. :thumbsup:

The yarn used for this project was Lion Brand Fishermen's Wool color 126 Nature's Brown.

The pattern called for 19" sleeves. I measured my arm and knitted them at 23" for a good fit.

The sweater looks wonderful on you, and your Bassett seems to love the way it matches his coat. Great job~~

For a minute there I though you used invisible yarn and made an invisibility sweater (perhaps too much of a Harry Potter joke). ;)

I agree with everyone's assessments, you made a very nice men's sweater. What was your pattern source and is there a link to it?

I'm getting a bit embarrassed that the other guys here have completed sweaters and I haven't even started one... :oops:

Perhaps you (and the other guys) need to toss me a boned and slow down and consider some dishcloth patterns or something like that. LOL

The sweater turned out great and looks good on you. Love the color also.

Here's the link, it's a free pattern. It uses bernat denimstyle yarn, but I used Lions Brand Fishermens' wool.
Bernat Denimstyle (3.5 oz/100 g)

You should be embarrassed....letting all us hard working accomplished male knitters down like that....:rofl:

I did CONSIDER some dishcloth patterns....briefly....then thought I'd leave them for the under-achievers.....;)

You could always try crying towels.....:roflhard:

[WandaT]

Perfect!!! Love the style, color and fit!! Great job!

[Remontoire]

I can only dream of sweaters with sleeves that fit! Well done. I'm green with envy.
