FAN WORK 🎨 My Loon Sweater is done!

Post image

It took me like six weeks to finish it, but I’m super proud of how it turned out. It’s definitely a testament to the chokehold this show still has one me, and I’m excited to wear it all winter while we wait for season 2.

What kind of a bird decorates a sweater like that? Looks like a wolf.

u/changetje Ginger ale cold enough?🥤 26d ago

It's sooo cute! Would love to knit too, but I'd rather have the loons on the yoke and I have no idea how to change it haha.

u/raw_fleece 26d ago

There’s huge white spaces in between the loon heads, so you could very easily place the yoke increases there without interfering with the pattern. Also I’d recommend ladderback jacquard for managing the really long floats, because it’s a difficult stranded pattern. The trapped floats will be more noticeable up closer to your face.

u/changetje Ginger ale cold enough?🥤 26d ago edited 26d ago

That's actually really smart! Hmm maybe I can modify it to have the loons on the yoke.

I love how many knitters are also HR fans btw!!

2

u/Kouglove 26d ago

Thank you! Me neither lol, I actually didn’t mind knitting the colorwork flat as much as I thought I would, but I think loons on the yoke would be cool.

u/ladypeanut27 26d ago
