This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEP Curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the straw badge in Textiles.

In this project, you will knit or crochet an adult sized, long sleeved sweater.

To complete this BB, the minimum requirements are:

1. Knit a long sleeved sweater. (It can be a pullover, cardigan, etc. But it must cover the torso and the arms.)
2. Use natural materials (cotton, linen, wool, etc.)
3. The sweater must fit the adult person it was designed for.


To document your completion of the BB, provide proof of the following as pics or video (less than two minutes):
1. materials for making your sweater
2. your sweater in progress, with your needles/hook visible
3. your sweater finished, on an adult

Here are some free sweater patterns to inspire you:

And for the crochet fans among us, this one looks fun:

(It even has a video tutorial!)

This is a thread I made for my long-sleeved sweater project:

long sleeved sweater

Here is a link to the pattern I adapted:

Downtown Cardigan

Here is the label to the yarn:



Here is the back panel at the very beginning:



Here are the two sides--I was able to do two at a time:



As I noted in the complete thread linked above, the side panels were too narrow, so I needed to add a button band. I also decided a hood would be nice:



Here it is, ready to be bound off:



And here I am, wearing the completed project:

Note: I hereby certify that this badge bit is complete, and that is one beautiful sweater

 
I wish I could be half as happy as this tiny ad!
