The Girlfriend Swing Coat Sweater pattern is now available, just in time for Autumn!
This simple, quick-knit sweater is knit all in one piece, from the neck down, except for the collar, which is added on later. It will make a wonderful and cozy garment for your own Girlfriend.
For Children: 2 (4, 6, 8, 10)
To fit chest sizes: 21" (23", 25.5", 27", 28")
Materials: Blue Sky Alpacas, Inc. Blue Sky Cotton, 3 (3, 4, 5, 6) hanks. The Blue Sky Alpacas, Inc. Organic Cotton would be a good substitute. Karabella's Aurora 8 would also work, if you're looking for more warmth.
Needles: Size 8 circular and size 8 double pointed
Gauge: 18 stitches and 20 rows to 4 inches
This pattern is amazingly customizable. You can choose your favorite type of closure and add some funky embroidery of your own. I was thinking, I'll add some pom poms around the collar edge for Girlfriend's next Swing Coat Sweater...very cool. Check out the Winner's Photo Album for another shot.

Do you have an adult version?

no, not at the moment. I guess my thinking is that it would be a heck of a lot of fabric to knit for an adult...
