Introducing my newest pattern Metropolis. Metropolis is available as a free Ravelry download.
The Metropolis colourway will be making it’s debut at Knit City in Vancouver on October 5th and I’ll have a Dyed-To-Order Metropolis update on Tuesday October 8th.
What could possibly be cozier than a simple, chunky sweater with generous ribbing and a turtleneck that dreams are made of!? I fell in love with this colourway and knew I wanted something simple yet spectacular to let it shine in a garment. If you need me, I’ll be the one walking around on perfect fall days snug as a bug in a rug in my ultimate chunky sweater!
This year I have developed a renewed love for simple, classic shapes and patterns. Wether it’s a fool proof sock pattern or a classic beanie, I’m always on the lookout for my new go-to pattern. That type of straight forward construction and classic wearability is exactly what I was aiming for with this sweater design. Though I happen to be obsessed with our new Metropolis colourway I think that this sweater would be equally beautiful knit in a solid or tonal colourway. The chunky gauge makes the knitting fast and fun. It’s knit from the top down in one piece. There are a few short rows to lower the front neckline a smidge and the turtleneck is worked at the end from picked up stitches around the neckline. It could easily be modified to be a crew-neck if (gasp!) turtlenecks aren’t your thing. I opted for a generous amount of ribbing on both the body and sleeves but that would be an easy mod as well - adjust it as much as you like! That’s the beauty of simple, straight forward patterns like this, they are prime candidates for customization!
We developed the Metropolis colourway to debut at Knit City this year. It’s our first big show in 7 years and our first ever cross country show and we definitely needed something extra special to bring with us. It reads as grey but has so much going on! It’s a fun one for sure and I’ll be posting more about it soon. It will be making it’s debut at Knit City this coming weekend and for all of you who can’t make it fear not! We will be doing a Dyed-To_order Metropolis update on Tuesday Oct. 8th so you can knit all the Mtropolis knits your heart desires!
It’s sweater weather, let’s make the most of it!!!
