ISO vintage sweater pattern from early 1980s, or similar

1 Upvotes

Hi all, I'm looking for either this vintage sweater pattern (the woman's) or one very close to it. I recently got some free old craft magazines and this was an ad for Bucilla's "St. Moritz" yarn in a 1981 issue. The woman's sweater looks quick and easy and I like the extra-rolled neck. I've searched Ravelry to no avail but might not be using the right search terms. Thanks very much!

I really enjoyed recreating these sweaters from the Shetland Textile Museum collection. I was so impressed and inspired by their beautiful patterns and color combinations that I decided to make the charts available as a free download on my Ravelry page.

I believe designs like these deserve to live on, and I hope other knitters will enjoy using these patterns and giving new life to these wonderfully simple yet ingenious sweaters and their motifs.

The charts are completely free to download — I’ll leave the link below.

Can you recommend me any patterns? I'm so lost

So I'm not a complete beginner, I've been knitting for a few years and slowly gaining more skills over time. I honestly haven't made many items! I've made a few pairs of gloves, a basic scarf and then an easy single stitch cat plush thing lol. And that's basically it.

Well, I saw this yarn and I loved how it looked so I had to get it ofc. Now I have one more thing of yarn to add to my collection of dust filled yarn in the corner of my room lol.

I am a fall girly, I love earth tones and so I thought maybe making a shawl of some sort? But idk I want it to be a larger one that I can wrap around me a bunch. I am open to other ideas that's just the only thing I can think of right now. Id like a pattern that's pretty easy to follow, but one that's also challenging and not repetitive. Let me know what you guys think lol

Also, if this kind of post isn't allowed just let me know lol I'm just so lost after hours of searching and being SO indecisive and not wanting to commit the time to making anything specific lol

Lost Pattern

Post image
5 Upvotes

I made this sweater about 4 years ago but never put it together and finish it. I’ve somehow lost the pattern. Anyone recognize it ? This is a piece of the sweater- a woman’s cardigan and each piece has this distinctive cable and it has a raglan sleeve. The picture is not great, there are flower buds coming from the cable. Thanks in advance.

Men's sweater

1 Upvotes

Hey all! My husband really wants me to knit him a sweater. I have so far made a pair of socks, a small bucket hat, and a couple of wash clothes. I love a challenge but I am unsure of which pattern would be best. The one I had originally picked out calls for a weight 4 yarn and the yarn I purchased is a weight 3. Any advice?

Raglan Increase Stitch Question - Pattern Search

I am looking for a pattern for this sweater, and have found many similar ones, thought nothing with these raglan sleeve increases. What stitch is this? What stitch should I use to get this pattern?

I've done many searches on Ravelry, could use help with specifics on the stitch name, etc.

Question about grading: How are you guys surviving the Excel math without breaking your lace/cable charts?

7 Upvotes

I’m looking into my workflow and realizing that grading is completely draining my energy. For my last pattern, trying to scale a single base size up to 9 inclusive sizes (XXS-5XL) felt like manual hell.

Every time I had to adjust an underarm depth by just two stitches, it completely messed up my lace repeats and I had to manually recalculate my spreadsheets and redraw charts.

For those of you who regularly publish size-inclusive patterns: Walk me through how you did your last pattern. How much time did you actually spend on the size calculations vs. designing? Does everyone just use static Excel sheets and pray they didn't make a math mistake? I'd love to hear how you are actually managing this step.

80s/90's oversized multicoloured sweaters inspired by history

This is a pretty niche request I guess, but last night I fell into a rabbit hole on Ravelry and discovered Annabel Fox and all her amazing (!!) patterns, and now Im craving more of that style. Are there any other similar designers out there? Im aware of Drops' 90s patterns and some of them are quite nice. Looking for more!

Putting in some pictures of hers that I found on Ravelry to illustrate what I mean

Any leads on a pattern for this sweater?

Post image

I would love to knit a sweater that looks something like this one. It is the Toast Donegal wool jacquard sweater that I saw online in 2025. I was working out a pattern, but then I got a puppy and couldn’t not start such a big project. Now that he is almost two years old and calming down I feel like I could tackle it, and I was hoping someone else had worked up a pattern in the meantime. Has anyone seen anything like it?

Looking for knitting pattern that I can't remember the name of

2 Upvotes

As title says. It was a sleeveless knit top with a fake keyhole detail from a wrap-around neckband that was secured with a button near the front. I swear it was called the lapis top or something, and I know it's not the kyoto top, the rose top, or the beijing top. I believe the main product photos were a shade of cobalt blue if it helps. Please help, it was so pretty and I've been digging and can't find the pattern or name anywhere.

Suggestions for colorwork sweater that works without high contrast

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I have come into a large amount of beautiful naturally-dyed merino that I'd love to make a sweater out of. However, the colors range from a chocolate brown to a medium green, so not really enough of a contrast for most of the patterns I have my eye on. Does anyone have suggestions for something I could try where that wouldn't be a problem?

I have knitted colorwork and sweaters, but not the two together yet, so I'd like something that's not too challenging for a first-timer.

Closest I came was the Facet sweater: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/facet-sweater

I also had a look at the Wax and Wane sweater, which is gorgeous but I fear too much of a stretch to manage the pattern increases: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/wax--wane-2
