These pants did not disappoint at all, although I did make some changes to them that I should probably continue to work on for my next pair. No Frills Sweater is a simple raglan sweater with neckline shaping at the front. that means, the part with the short rows is NOT knitted in the round as the rest of the sweater, but „back and forth“. Bound buttonholes of course are meant to be applied before the lining goes in but this meant that I had to base the button placement on where the pattern says it should go vs. where it fit best on my body. Hello, I love your version of the No Frills Sweater. As designed, the button placement makes the coat tighter around my hips which becomes apparent because of the straight vertical lines of the plaid that- when I buttoned it with the original buttonhole, got wavy and shifted inward instead of staying vertical.

With these pants I made a size 2 graded to 4 at the hips, and I lowered the opening of the button fly 3/8″ to give my hips plenty of room to get in and out of. Although this is designed as a big comfy cocoon-type coat, I actually prefer it more as a jacket- this is not the garment I reach for when it’s super cold outside.

Rd: 3 r, 9 left 3.u … Knit Raglan Sweater: … I’ll try once again the mastering of the short rows and raglan simultaneously with the support from your tutorial. When I basted the side seams up and tried them on I immediately thought they needed some work and got to molding the legs to fit my thighs and calves. I am assuming this has to do with something I did (or didn’t do) and not the pattern drafting, and I think it just comes with the territory of getting familiar with new techniques and working with thick fabrics like wool and quilted fabric. Thanks again for taking the time to answer. I’m relieved to see that I’m not the only one to have made the same mistakes and had to re-start from scratch. I might try and leave them as-is next time though- it’s a style I am not used to but it might just be because of habit rather than preference (fine line, ya know?). They also make me feel more comfortable than lower-rise pants do- there is no risk for buttcrack peepage and I don’t spend my days pulling the pants up by the belt loops to keep them from riding down.

I held a light beige brushed alpaca silk and brown alpaca yarn together and I really like the result, even though I will chose more contrasting yarns for the next versions. Whoah! I was particularly drawn to the Oslo Coat because of it’s subtle cocoon shape. Thanks to Claire for taking these fantastic photos for me, and thanks to you for getting this far in my blog post!

I used fabric-covered buttons for this coat which I think looks really sharp and makes the two buttons look more intentional and I also added a loop to the back center neck so that I hang it on a hook if necessary. Thank you for the really helpful feedback. But if you’ve been living here for a while, your tolerance of coldness changes and 50 degrees can feel like it’s absolutely freezing (yes, there is a scientific reason for this, something to do with the way your blood changes over time in certain climates, so don’t @ me!). It’s good that the short rows are right at the beginning of the pattern so you don’t have to rip out much if you have to start over again! It feels loose and relaxed but not boxy or too big for my body, which has always been a struggle for me with knitted sweaters, and probably one of the reasons I took such a long break from making them. I feel you, I found short rows confusing when I first started the sweater as well (that was also my first experience with short rows!).
