Simple quick easy knit pullover sweater for your daily comfort
So, I was in hurry. If you read my previous post, you’d understand my urgent desire: needed a go-to pullover right away! It is knitters' favorite season ever: Sweater knitting and wearing weather! Perfect time to show off our knit wears to the world! Yes, indeed~
This time I decided to go with something rather casual and cozy. This pullover is from my old, old, and old (yes, triple old!) wish list at Ravelry. Any of you made one? I know it was pretty popular back then.
After the sad disaster (Read my previous post.) I was well prepared for this: made a swatch and carefully tracked all the sizes here and there. This piece was totally easy, simple and fun to knit. The interesting neckline that I haven’t tried before was a bit challenging but I figured it out quickly. It is always fun to learn new techniques through new projects. (Another reason to knit more!)
So, my dear friends who mourned with me last time while we are letting go of my old pullover, cry no more! Please join this celebration of birthing a new beautiful pullover I whipped up. The process has been so~ smooth and fun. I really enjoyed working on each and every part of the pullover. It turned out incredibly awesome as you see! Perhaps the most wearable piece I’ve ever created. (Woohoo!! I got my confidence back! Not fully, but good enough!) I am totally satisfied with both the process and the result. As you see the photos, I couldn't stop laughing while I was modeling this new go-to pullover!
By the way, if you’re curious a about what pattern I was using, this is the link you’re looking for. Beautiful pattern by Isabell Kraemer called ‘driftwood’. You can download the free PDF pattern from Ravelry. If you ever ended up making one let me know. We should celebrate together! Again, I recommend this pattern very much, much, and much! (Yes, triple much!)

Hi Lindy,
Thanks so much for your sweet message. Appreciated! :)
You chose absolutely perfect sweater to start with. I have full confidence that you will enjoy knitting this AND wearing this, too! It is such an easy and simple pattern. You shouldn’t worry anything. I cannot wait to see your finished piece soon. Please let me know once you’re done so I can check the beauty out! Good luck!!
I’ve been rummaging through my ENORMOUS stash – and equally enormous collection of patterns – and this caught my eye. Yarn now chosen, and this pattern definitely the one, it looks great on you. No, not doing stripes either. I’ve picked out a rich nut brown. I’ve had it for so long, it’s still got the tag on and it’s called Orlon. How long since anyone’s heard of Orlon?? Wish me luck, I’ve only ever thought about “top down” haven’t attempted one.
Thanks, Clare!
Hope you make one, too!
Happy stitching~
your knitting is lovly
Hello, Mary~
Thanks for letting me know that my little post inspired you.
I am totally with you. I wasn’t so much hooked by the original theme of stripes. To me, it looked a little too casual than I wanted. I so much like the result with the solid color and it went with any outfits I chose. A literal ‘go-to sweater!’
It is way easier than it looks so if you’re a beginner it would be the perfect sweater to show off your passion of knitting. Go for it with a color you adore and let me know how you like your new sweater. Happy stitching!
