The men’s cardigan pattern is finally here! Hi-ya! I’m thrilled to finally release it! Check out some details here. It’s in time for NaKniSweMo!
I decided on the name Bespoken, because the word carries meaning of customization and commitment. I always told Matt I wouldn’t knit him a sweater until we were married. This is the first sweater I’ve ever made for him (or any man), so this definitely implies some commitment.
It’s knit in pieces, with a set-in sleeve. I think this makes for a better calculated fit in the shoulder area and is worth the extra effort. I love a good set-in sleeve.
From now until midnight on Halloween I will be offering this at a 25% discount in celebration of NaKniSweMo. Use the code NAKNISWEMO at checkout, and buy now if you wish!
It’s truly beautiful! And I love the first photo! Thanks for letting me test it and gifting it to me:-)
Truly a work of art! BEAUTIFUL! Love the name too!
I love the cables and the shawl collar! I can definitely see this as a unisex sweater – or adapted for a women’s sweater with some added shaping. Awesome!
That is the smoothest, neatest, set-in seam I have ever seen! (and, the rest of the sweater is lovely, too, of course!)
Great job.
Very nice!! I would definitely knit this one for a guy and then use it myself! I LOVE the collar!
This is beautiful, Cassy! I love the color and the textures and the lines! The best man sweater a man could have.
What a beautiful sweater! It fits him so perfect too! You are so talented, Cassy! so so talented!
Wow! This is absolutely lovely! Beautiful work!
It’s beautiful 🙂
Finally! I can not wait to cast this on for MH. 🙂
Oh my goodness, that is freakin’ gorgeous and just the right style for my fiance, too. I love it.
I LOVE IT! Sorry for shouting, but it’s so rare to see a really stylish yet fun men’s knit. Kudos to you Cassy 🙂
What a perfect men’s sweater! Shawl collar, cables – I love it all.
Congrats! It looks great.
Wow…your work is so beautiful!
Expert work. Love the design. Your seaming is perfection visualized. Do you teach seaming classes?
I don’t, but I would!
That’s awesome. Simply awesome. BEAUTIFUL work and I love the enthusiasm he shows for it! Amazing. 😀
It is AMAZING, Cassy, congratulations! I’m still grieving the fact that I couldn’t test knit it in the end… But I will be buying the pattern asap to make up for it!
Thanks! I’m glad you like it!
Yes! What an excellent name for this cardigan. I’m not sure I’m quite ready to knit L something this large/involved, but I suppose there’s no harm in picking up patterns for future knitting…
It’s just one piece at a time… 🙂 Thanks for your support! I’m so happy with it because Matt has been wearing it at least 2-3 times a week when it’s cold enough.
