Rug sweater, Free pattern on Ravelry by Junko Okamoto,
Yarn is Barcelona Big, in Amethyst color way ,
Needle is US 10, 6mm Addi,
What I did different then pattern.
I did not do color work, and it knits up like a comfy sweatshirt like fit. I also did not do the decreased at the waste since I was not doing the color work and I wanted the nice, roomy fit.
Short rows at back of neck:
I used German short row for wrap and turn. There is a great tutorial by Very Pink Knits
Blocking Acrylic
I use the steam method to block acrylic yarn projects. I usually steam block most projects because it helps to even out the stitched and I don't care for the rolling on the hem.
Left handed knitting tips:
This pattern has the K2TG and SSK on the sleeve decreases, and I flipped them to have a nice decrease line.
I will insert a short video at end to show the difference in flipping or knitting as pattern is written.
