I mentioned yesterday that I had something fun to show you guys! I’ve had this finished for a while but couldn’t handle putting on buttons much less putting it on for a fashion show. It’s hot, y’all!
Two Boyfriends! Yay!
It’s still hot, so please excuse the shiny face, but here is The Two Boyfriend Cardigan!
Half Blue, Half Green, All Hot!
This top down boyfriend style cardigan is double fun because its striping color is split down the middle. The main color is striped through on both sides, but with one of your boyfriend’s favorite colors on the right and your other boyfriend’s favorite color on the left, you are sure to please everyone!
Deep V-Neck, Lots of Buttons
Main color ribs at bottom, sleeves, and button band rows add texture, but the majority of this sweater is just increasing stitches and striping.
Slouchy, Roomy, Comfy
The Two Boyfriends Cardigan is sized big and slouchy for a borrowing-your-boyfriends-cardigan feel. I’m sure that if I were cold this sweater would warm me right up, but I’ll have to wait until fall to confirm that.
Pudgey Approved!
And Pudge Rodriguez certainly likes it!
I used Knit Picks Merino Style in Fedora (MC) Dusk (CC1) and Moss (CC2) and size 6 circular needles. This pattern is going to be part of my next ebook, but before that I’m looking for a test knitter! Please let me know if you are interested and I’ll send the pattern over to you. Sadly I can’t pay you, but you’ll get a copy now and a finished copy of the pattern once it’s ready for publishing. Edit: Test knitter found!
TOO HOT TOO HOT TOO HOT
Now I’m going to put this sweater in a drawer for 3 months!
Pattern: The Two Boyfriends Cardigan – Coming Soon!
Yarn: Knit Picks Merino Style
Needles: Size 6 circulars
How fun! That’s really an inspired design. Is it sewn at the back or worked with the intarsia technique?

Thanks so much! It’s intarsia-ed at the back. I hate seaming so there is NO WAY I would knit two sides of a sweater an seam them together!

conquistador is making eyes at you.
It’s DARLING, nice job.
I am glad you said you hate seaming. I DO TOO and now that I’ve spent the summer making sweaters from a tube, I may never ever go back!
pudgey is so so adorable (don’t tell velma)

i adore this sweater!! and i think it will go with more things due to the different things.. because if something doesn’t go with green, it MUST go with blue. i hope your boyfriends love it too
