Finished CPH #1, on to #2



I think this sweater pattern is addictive. I finished #1 yesterday but already have the back done on #2 (I started on it while I was waiting for my 60" cable for my options needle to arrive so I could knit the button band in one piece.)

Here's #1 completed I used Plymouth Encore Worsted weight (75% acrylic and 25% wool), used size 6 and 8 needles and knit size 40. I made the sweater longer, increased every 6 rows on the sleeves to give more room, did a three needle bind off for the hood, shortened the sleeves, and knitted a 1" button band with i-cord bind off. I plan to put a separating zipper in once I find or order (from zipperstop.com) one to match.

And here's my start on #2, which is knitted in Cascade 220 super wash.

These are GREAT!
I was so pleased to see that someone has used Encore for one of these, as I had considered doing so. I will say though, if you haven't used it before, I made some children's sweaters out of Encore and washed and dried them and they did shrink considerably - just the little bit of wool made the difference I guess.

Wonderful knits!
