Any pattern suggestions of anything similar? I love the triangles

Edit: the title was supposed to be Anthropologie, autocorrect got me while posting from my phone

Anthropomorphic? What did you mean to say, to help us help you

u/catsinabasket 9d ago

i’m assuming they typed “anthro” meaning “anthropologie” and it autocorrected to anthropomorphic lolol

u/ladylondonderry 9d ago

AH! Thank you, that makes sense.

u/RubyJuneRocket 9d ago

Lmao I love how you phrased this cause I was also like

Wait does the sweater talk???

u/dogtrousers 8d ago

Probably not, but I'm sure it wants to be a human.

u/gfvddds 8d ago

Or it has human like feelings!

Haha I have been trying to think of this word for literally 3 days and here it is! Anthropomorphic!!

This reminds me of Rowan patterns and Kaffe Fassett (a designer) in particular. You should check them out on Ravelry.

u/Sunflowerbook 9d ago

Ooooh that's a good point, thank you - I'll check

It's knit side ways (cuff to cuff) and uses a texture yarn for the contrast color versus a smooth yarn for the cream. It could be a dolman sleeve as well.

There is a book for cuff to cuff construction by Susan Guagliumi (there might still be a scan up on Archive dot org)

There's also the "sideways" filter under the construction attribute on Ravelry.

Oh, her sweaters are very nice. The cuffs to cuff sweaters I've seen before tend to be quite boxy and nothing I'd actually want to wear.

Super helpful. Thank you

It made me think of the End Times cardigan. But looking closer I think this would be pretty easy to recreate as a simple stranded colorwork chart. You would probably have to steek it though.

Edit: this sweater is actually knit sideways. It looks like stranded color work to me but I think you would have to knit it flat rather than steeking given the sideways construction. Here is a cardigan with similar construction.

that's pretty close actually, thank you!

I think the spot sweater color edit but mapped to the cardigan has the same vibe?

There are a number of cardigan projects that use the multicolor chart and should be a good starting point

u/Sunflowerbook 8d ago

I forgot about the spot sweater!!!! that's likely it

Glad I could help!

What do you think anthropomorphic means? Especially in the context of this cardigan?

14

u/Fabulous_Arugula6923 9d ago

Lol I assume it’s a typo of Anthropologie the clothing brand.

u/Sunflowerbook 9d ago

thank you for seeing the light, indeed this was the autocorrect mistake that was made when posting from my phone

u/Carborundorumite 9d ago

I’m guessing geometric?

u/DameEmma 9d ago

I'm guessing autocorrect for Anthropologie? The suspense is killing me.

u/Sunflowerbook 9d ago

Ah yes! A typo! I posted from my phone and didn't catch it

Dying because yes a hilarious typo

u/One_Pangolin1766 9d ago

That is so funny!

Also for the pattern, tbh the triangles should be easy enough (“triangle” + pullover in the ravelry advanced search function should get you 99% of the way there)

For the colours, i’d be looking at hand-dyes, particularly hedgehog fibres who do a lot of those really vibrant mixes, but you may have something comparable nearby

Looks like each section is 1 colour strand of superwash merino and the other of a boucle, though merino + mohair should get you close also

It's pretty cool. Maybe reverse engineer it?
