V. Important Cozy

Beer Sweater Just a fun quickie for a friend. A little “Thank you” for coming over and teaching me bread making. Now I at least feel like I’m not completely guesstimating about kneading.

Only a camera phone shot here (I had just finished this up while lake-side knitting, woo). The ever popular Beer Sweater. As you must keep your beer nice and insulated and no one wants cold wet hands of course.

Yes, there were mods- even on something like this I can’t seem to help it. I used a DK weight yarn instead of the recommended sport weight and thus ended up adjusting the pattern to about 75%.
I worked the sleeves as double-knit tubes (at only 12 sts this was much easier).
Also I always use my alternating knit/purl long tail cast-on method whenever starting in rib.

  1. Such a fun gift! Did the beer come with it?

  2. aww, what a great thank you gift!!
