Ysolda's stripey

Has anyone made Ysolda Teague's stripey?

I'm a bit confuzzled as to where the pattern can be found! It appears to be made up as you go along... is this right?

Mogiebear - did you make this??

There is an article in the curren Yarn Forward that tells you how to design your own top down raglan which refers to Ysolda's Stripy. In the magazine it says 'UK designer Ysolda Teague has written an excellent series of posts walking readers through the Stripy sweater on her blog at www.ysolda.com beginning with the first order of business: measuring and swatching."


I can't give you any more help than that though.

It was Issue 10 tho that just came out about a week ago - are you meaning the same one you had in the Craft Market??

Ah no, mine was issue 9 that went forward  Very Happy

I won't be buying YF just for a bit on that though - I have other top down stuff I can use for reference  Wink  Wink

I've found the tutorial on Ysolda's blog but thought there might be a bit more to sort of go on...  Confused  Confused

There are definitely others on Rav - Cosmicpluto has a free top down raglan pattern Cool

I've got some top down patterns queued, there's the one by Knitting Fool which is a pattern generator and Stefanie Japels and the Incredible Custom fit raglan too.

Oh and if it helps there's a waist shaping calculator over on Knitting Daily.

I have the yarn waiting for  a top down, so I'm planning on checking them all out a bit more thoroughly to see which one makes most sense - and then I'll probably be so confused I'll be back here asking for help  Laughing
