OMG! Your set-tacular!!!! I'm freaking out over here. I want to make one too! That is totally perfect for lounge wear especially for the holidays. I think there is also a free turtleneck pattern that looks similar from Jalie Patterns that may be more size inclusive. I think? Anyway, Happy Holidays! Enjoy some family time! Cheers!

[@whitmakes]

Yes- someone mentioned the name above and it appears to have 27 size options which is awesome. Make a set and lounge through the holidays with me 🤣

I did the same thing with my Monroe - I put the size 3 sleeve on size 2 pattern. I did trace the size 3 armscye onto the size 2 front/back, just to make sure everything fit together. I agree with you - that tneck is just right! I have also done a mashup of the LB Pullover from Paper Theory & the Monroe - putting the tneck from Monroe onto the LB Pullover, which gives it a different sleeve, and has a similar boxy fit - and that worked out well, too. Love those rib knits - great work!

[@whitmakes]

Love that idea for a mash up!

You may want to look at the Émilie pattern at Jalie Patterns. It is the same high neck boxy style and free, but comes in 27 sizes from child to adult. I prefer it to the Monroe because of the sleeve and size inclusivity issues. I adore the pants you made for your set They are awesome!

Someone else mentioned this- thanks I will be sure and check it out.

Cute, good to know about the too small sleeves! Did you make the green pants you were wearing with the brown turtleneck? They look so cool 😎

[@whitmakes]

Yes! The oxbow pants by sew house 7!

Hi! Knits have always scared me!! What's the trick when sewing knitwear??

[@whitmakes]

stretch needle, stretch stitch. Tilly and the buttons has a great book you should check out to get started- lots of tips and techniques and then some great basic patterns to start with
