Logo sweater

I’m sitting here knitting a sweater and watching QVC . They are showing a sweater color block sweater in colors like the ones I’m using for my striped sweater!

Awwww. This post made me smile.🥰 I am so glad you are having a relaxing day enjoying QVC!👍 I missed the show, and am curious about which colors you are using. Would you be willing to post a pic when it is completed? I would LOVE to see it!❤

Enjoy the remainder of your evening!😊

@ALRATIBA. Maybe you should start designing for Logo? Soon will be time to put those sweaters away.

Have you ever crocheted a wide border on a fabric top?

Not a fan of LOGO's sweater style. Really kind of "blah."

My yarn is worsted weight self-striping ... my sweater is an oversized pull-over and I'm doing a stitch pattern that adds "texture" to the stripes.

(I consider patterns to be suggestions rather than directions ... so my finished piece won't look much like that picture.)

My yarn LOGO sweater My pattern

This is my fourth version of this sweater .... first three were in solid neutral colors. It's a fab Fall sweater. (I plan on making a couple more versions in different color combos.)

Not a wide border ... but the same technique. (when I was a child ... we crocheted narrow lace borders on our pillow cases)

Most recently, I did crochet a border on the neckline a D&Co sweat shirt that got all out of shape when it was washed.

I found the easiest way to do it was to sew a rather close mattress stitch around the fabric edge, and then crochet onto that stitch. If you use matching colors of sewing thread and crochet thread/yarn ... it turns out great.

ETA: Finished sweaters may be put away, but there is always a WIP sweater or afghan.

@ALRATIBA. I was wondering how the fabric is penetrated by the hook. Your method makes sense. Thanks.

@ALRATIBA THANK you so much for providing the visual and specifications!🥰 The yarn is BEAUTIFUL, and so versatile.💖 Coordinating it will certainly not be difficult. Very nice choice!❤
