Happy Christmas Jumper

Christmas Eve, and I've finished this cardigan for Ernest this morning. I bought this gorgeous Adriafil self patterning yarn back in June, but only got around to starting to knit with it a few weeks ago.
I decided to knit something really simple, and since Ernest refuses to wear jumpers these days I thought I might have more success with a cardigan.



I began following a random pattern online, which I can't find now, but once I'd got past the shoulder shaping I just winged it. The sleeves could probably have done with some shaping, but I think I might get away with it.



The buttons were 50p from Oxfam, and the label is an old one from stash.
I'm pretty happy with the results, you know considering I'm a really average knitter.
Ernest though says it's "rubbish" and refuses point blank to even try it on!

Don't be shy, say hello!

  1. What a beautiful cardigan! I love self-patterning yarn, I have a little stash of it. My boys are exactly the same as Ernest, they will only wear a fleece & refuse to wear any jumpers or cardigans. I would love to knit jumpers for them, I have so many patterns stored on Ravelry but it seems that that's where they'll be staying...

  4. So cute! My little guy was the same way for the longest time and wouldn't touch anything I made. He's coming around now though (at 6....) especially if he gets to help pick the fabric. :)
