I just saw this boxy sweatshirt on FB ... only $59.

Love the look but not the fabric ..and I have a pattern from 2012 that's easily altered for a knitted version .... and know the perfect yarn - just need to decide on a color.   I forgot all about this pattern until a friend mentioned it recently ... how much she liked that sweater.

I've made three of these in the past (my version - adding the ribbed cuff and turtleneck on two of them)  - in charcoal, eggplant, and in white.  Charcoal gone - still wearing the white and eggplant.

Time to make another!  

(It's a free pattern - pic on right ....just google tsu shi tunic - easy to make.)

A little too shapeless and not "easy" enough for me to knit it-LOL!!!

Hey @ALRATIBA, why don't you cut loose and make a RED one?

@Kachina624 

I already have a red crocheted turtleneck pullover - and a crocheted red vest.  I'm good on red knitwear!

I'm thinking a meadow green, an aran or that new Pantone blue/violet.  I've picked out those three shades .... will order the yarn as soon as I make up my mind.  

(If I'm up to my usual habits .... I'll likely end up with all three colors!  It's a simple pattern.)

I'm so envious of those that knit. What a gift you have. I went to a class one time to learn and I guess I just didn't get it the instructor asked me to leave. I was heart broken. I came home and cried!

Well, that was just mean! How are people supposed to learn?

That would've hurt my feelings too, shame on that 'so called instructor'!

I learned to knit and crochet when I was a little girl - at the age when we think we can do anything.

My sister can crochet beautifully - but can't manage knitting needles!

Back in early 2019, our church group offered knitting and crochet lessons.  

Some women just didn't have the dexterity and hand/eye coordination to manage two knitting needles and yarn tension, or a crochet hook and yarn tension.  

Some of them were naturals ... were able to pick it up quickly.  

Check out the Youtube videos - learn at your own pace.  And - try crocheting!

I like the pattern blue one on the right better than the one on the left. 

Very, very nice pattern and style.  And color.

@ALRATIBA How long does it take you to make one?  I assume it is bigger yarn and needles?  Not that I know anything about knitting!
