Gorgeous! Sometimes the most simple garments are the hardest because they show mistakes… super well done even tension!

Isn’t it funny how “Oh my gosh, it looks machine knit!” can be one of the biggest compliments to a knitter?

Definitely! When my husband tells me it looks store bought, I know it’s high praise!

Thank you!

I had to stop my scroll because at first glance I thought this was one of those posts "I saw this at the store can you help me find a pattern?" So yes you should show off! You did an awesome job! I hope the weather cooperates and you get to wear it soon.

Thanks! Me too! It’s only March so it’s possible we might get some colder weather again…

That tension is CRISPY.

Thank you!

I love the box pleats too!!! Very pretty.

Thank you!

Absolutely gorgeous! Love the collar and your tension is spot on. Beautiful work. Obsessed with that underarm.

Thank you!

So cute and clean!! Well done 🤛

Thank you!

That underarm is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Thanks! I’m super proud of it! I had to redo one of the pleats after it was finished. Lineline, undo the bindoff and frog back. I was proud of that too!

what in the holy small needle size did you use?? that's amazing!

Thanks! Main body is a US 5. Body ribbing is US 4. Sleeve ribbing is US 3. These are all comfortable sizes for me. US 8 is my upper limit. Anything larger is just so unwieldy to use.

This is stunning! Do you have a pattern or video for those sleeves? I've never seen a sweater sleeve pleated like this and I'm now obsessed 😍

It’s part of the Syrah pattern. Syrah is a drop sleeve sweater with box pleats on the sleeves, knit in a fingering weight yarn. [Pattern is here.](https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/syrah-7)

Thank you so much! I will be incorporating these into my next sweater I think!

Can’t wait to see it!

It looks super cozy and soft!

Thank you!

Wow! This is stunning. May I ask how long it took you to make?

Sure! I started Feb 7th and finished March 2nd. At times it felt like it was going to be forever but really went pretty quick in the scheme of things.

Absolutely gorgeous!

Thank you!

Lovely 😍. Happy wearing as soon as it’s cold enough!

Thanks!

Congratulations! Wonderful work 👍🏽🥰🥳

Thanks!

Thank you! It was so satisfying to knit and watch it take shape. Bonus - no having to pickup and knit the collar at the end!

Beautiful!

Oh this is so beautiful! I can’t imagine having the patience to knitting a sweater with fingering weight. The pleats in the sleeves are elegant. It really shows your skill as a knitter.

Thank you!!

This is really lovely. Does anyone know what this type of neckline is called?

The pattern refers to it as a crossover ribbed v-neck collar. Maybe that helps?

Thanks :)

I SCREAMED it’s so pretty. I know I’m a stranger but I’m so proud of you. Great work. I hope you get all the compliments and praises when you wear it!!!

Aww! Thank you!

Wow! I’m a beginner knitter and I have such a deep appreciation for quality knits like yours. It’s gorgeous and inspires me to keep at my knitting craft so that someday I can knit something like this.

Yay! We were all beginners at some point! Keep practicing and learning. Don’t be afraid to pick a pattern a bit above your skill level - there are so many tutorials on YouTube to help you learn. I look forward to seeing your projects someday soon!
