textured knit cardigans that are inspiring me - pattern round up and project ideas

[@tangerineknits]

Oooh so many fun patterns in this video! I love the Lou Cardigan, it's simple but so elegant! I also appreciate the categorization by high neck vs. v neck cardigans!

[@hipknithooray]

Yes!! I’m thinking of making a summer top with the Lou stitch pattern now too 🤩

[@awende111]

Thank you for nice suggestions. It so helps to hear what others see in the different patterns. Wanted to see the Vest as a sweater, but the link appears uncomplete.

[@hipknithooray]

Ah so so sorry about that - I have added it to the description now! The maker is aalinahmih on Instagram. I also added another alternative that was sent to me as well which looks very similar ☺️

I love the Lou cardigan! ❤️ It’s perfect for spring 🌱

[@hipknithooray]

Was thinking the same with the clover texture! 🍀

[@evaniki1995]

Thank you for your inspiration! Picked the pearl jacket into my plans!

[@hipknithooray]

Thank you!! Pearl Jacket is so timeless ☺️

[@CreatingHannah]

I love these! I am really loving cardigans right now and I actually have two textured ones on the needles. I have the cosmo cardigan (broken rib and a bit of cabling) for me and the korshavn cardigan for (basket weave) a friend

[@hipknithooray]

Ahh I forgot about the cosmo cardigan! Another great texture knit with double broken rib stitch 🤩

[@Emptyterrarium]

Love the Lou!

[@spunNstitched]

Great roundup. Added 3 items to my favorites 😊

[@hipknithooray]

Love to hear that! ☺️💗

[@bebeshome]

i’m currently making the bapuri cardigan!! it’s a really fun knit, great piece for me to first try out knitting from a chart and knitting cables.

[@hipknithooray]

Oooo good to know! Such a lovely cardigan and a difficult choice to pick between the toggle buttons or the tie - they’re both so pretty!

[@Knittersvision]

Thank you for the inspiring video 🙏😊. I am knitting the Samper Cardigan -V neck by Knit Purl Girl, which has plain stockinette stitch. But later this year I think to cast on the Billie Cardigan by Sari Nordlund 😊❤

[@hipknithooray]

Oooo I want to knit the semper cardigan one day! The Billie Cardigan will be so worth it ☺️

[@glofdahl1733]

Thank you for a great overview. I have knitted the Billie sweater and love it. A bit scared for the cardigan though, as I expect it meens purling, on top of the cabeling which was a bit hard on my hands. Personally i prefer steeked cardigan, especially as I can base it on any sweater pattern and knitting in the round 😊

[@hipknithooray]

That’s true! It’s a bit more involved and tough on the hands 😅 I’ve never steeked a cardigan before but always wanted to try…anything to avoid purling haha

[@Bihfob3]

Thanks for the lovely video

[@hipknithooray]

Thank you for the kind words! ☺️

[@soliloqvy]

thank u for the inspiration!!

[@hipknithooray]

I hope there were a few that caught your eye! So excited to knit a few of these this year ☺️

[@sunevanrooyen5210]

Thank you for the inspiration 😊 what is the name of the sweater that you are wearing in the video?

[@hipknithooray]

It’s the Cognac Sweater by Atelier Castin! I added my ravelry project page to the description if you want to see the pattern ☺️

[@Linuxike]

I’m tempted to skip the learning curve and jump straight from a toque to a pretty cardigan

[@hipknithooray]

Yes!! I think the Anker Cardigan would be a good one to start with ☺️

[@Marielm1]

Please don’t promote patterns that are not size inclusive.

[@antoniad.8030]

Please don’t issue imperatives.

[@yyyy-qg4ep]

Why not? You have your sizes, and she has hers

[@deidragarcia8874]

World doesn’t revolve around you.

[@KnitsByNayla]

I do think the pressure should be more on designers to provide size inclusive designs, than on podcasters to share/promote them. Most of the KZbinrs are not professionals and just share the things they like/found inspiring. The work to be done is getting the patterns in circulation to be inclusive for all. I definitely appreciate when size inclusive designs are included in a pattern round up and take note of both the podcaster and the designer so that I go back to them in future. All we can do is our best, while being kind and considerate of others, and request inclusivity for all from designers.

[@hipknithooray]

Thank you all for sharing your thoughts! I know some patterns in this video are not size inclusive. I debated whether to include them but ultimately decided that I would because they were a source of inspiration and I tried to also include alternatives when a pattern had very limited sizing (ex. Billie Cardigan and Bapuri Cardigan or the Anker Jacket and the Sorgenfri Cardigan). That being said, I appreciate everyone who’s left a comment or feedback for me here 🙂 @knitsbynayla those are some excellent points which I am grateful you took the time to express in words and will keep in mind in the future!
