| Katniss Vest, knit in Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick and Quick |
Since September I have been slowly knitting a very pretty sweater pattern. I got to the point after finishing the first sleeve (with one sleeve left to go before finishing the sweater) that I needed a break and I needed it now. And I needed an instant gratification project.
About a month ago I bought the yarn and pattern to make Anaid Designs Katniss Cowl Vest. I decided to make that.
Unfortunately, joann.com sent me the wrong needles (I ordered US 35, they sent me US 50, which isn't even listed for sale on their website) and never responded to my messages to customer service, so I sighed, and began knitting anyway.
After 3 nights of work, and some very sore hands and shoulders thanks to the huuuuge needles, I was finished with my most awesome, fashionable item. I wore it for a day out and felt fabulous.
I have plans to make a second, in nicer 100% wool yarn, with the proper sized needles, which I ordered off of etsy.
I love this pattern, and recommend it to any knitter coveting Katniss Everdeen's (Jennifer Lawrence) interestingly constructed (albeit hers is weaved, not knit or crocheted) cowl-necked half-vest.

For those wondering, this is the
sweater I am making, right
before I started the sleeves...
I really like your Katniss pattern, but I saw that you no longer have it for sale. Is the neck of your cowl one piece (tube like) on circle needles and three big ribs to make the three 'rolls'?
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah,
DeleteIt actually isn't my pattern, but the the movie studio made the designer stop offering it (free or for sale) which is a shame, because it is beautiful.
But the neck is made up of 3 i-cords.
You've ley us know the pattern isn't yours bit, could you PLEASE tell us how you madre it? Yours is so muchos gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteSorry about the spelling. I have Spanish automatic correction. Writing from México, actually. It's "let, but, made, and much".
ReplyDeletedo you have any recommendations for a very similar pattern? I have looked around and I really liked this one! :)

ReplyDeleteHI! The designer has since added the pattern on ravelry. You may need an account to purchase it, but ravelry accounts are free http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/hunter-cowl-2
