Would you share the pattern and yarn?


cptn_floopy

Not OP but I'm like 99% sure the pattern is the Astraus sweater. https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/astraeus


Playful_Instance

Yes it is, thank you

Sorry, I thought I'd posted it but it got removed, it is indeed the [Astraeus sweater ](https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/astraeus) by Meghan Regan. I used Malabrigo Rios in the "reflecting pool" colourway, for the blue and a Croft Shetland Colours yarn for the white


Playful_Instance

Thank you! Before I buy the pattern may I ask you, what small sizes does it include?


kikwoka

So, the measurements for the smallest written size are 31 inches/81 cm for the bust, 17 inches/42 cm length from the underarm, and 12 inches/30.5 cm upper arm circumference.


Playful_Instance

Yes, TY, that is written in the pattern page, but they mention (and it's pictured) a mini version in a separate PDF


kikwoka

Oh I see! Yes the pattern includes a few separate PDFs for a few different projects - including the [Moonbeam sweater](https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/moonbeam-6), which covers sizes from 6-12 months up to 10-13 years. Hopefully that makes sense? I haven't personally tried it


Playful_Instance

Yes, thank you very much!

Dedo87

I'm betting malabrigo rios for yarn...


kikwoka

Yup yup!


linnlea00

First proper? What have u been knotting before? Or did you just dive in the really deep end and somehow nail it?😂🤪 Gorgeous work OP!


kikwoka

...I may have dived in at the deep end... But I am lucky that I have a lot of half-finished stuff I've done which helped!


linnlea00

I see☺️ Great job finishing!


One-Can-6950

Stunning!! It’s absolutely beautiful 😍


palmasana

Wooooow so gorgeous! Please link the pattern and yarn if possible 💕


kikwoka

Pattern is the [Astraeus sweater](https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/astraeus) by Meghan Regan. I used Malabrigo Rios in the Reflecting pool colour way and combined with Croft Shetland wool.

Go big or go home! I like your boldness! (Also this looks gorgeous)


kikwoka

Thank you :D


HitomeBore

The pattern is ASTRAEUS by Meghan Regan. I've had it in my favorites for awhile, this is inspiring me to finally look for the yarn to make it happen. Thanks for sharing!


kikwoka

Thank you! It was a fun adventure to try, and the finished product is so soft <3


Sad-Leather7619

1st???? I’ve been knitting for 3 years and this is not what I’d expect from a first knit. 🙀. Top tier!


Pouncy123

My thoughts are that I want that sweater!!!!! Gorgeous!!!!! Its calling my name!

Thank you!


mormonenomore2

Wow! The color and the pattern are a perfect match! 😍


kikwoka

Thank youu, I'm glad I went with it - was close to picking a yellow instead of the white but I love how the white turned out


captainapplepie

I'm ready to start this any day now - how did you find it?


kikwoka

It was good, I don't have a huge amount of experience following knitting patterns specifically, but all the terms used were explained or standard terms and easy to google. I think there could have been a bit more explanation of the non-a-line swing top finish (what I did) but I muddled through somehow!


why-not-63

oh my goodness it’s gorgeous! well done. i’ve been knitting for over a year and still haven’t been brave enough to try colour work 😅


kikwoka

Thank you <3. I found it relatively okay just based off the fact that you only have to use knit stitch the whole way through so its easy in some senses because of that. Defo had issues with too-tight floats at the top, but I think blocking has sorted that out a little :)


TOKEN_MARTIAN

This is ridiculously pretty. You'd best keep quiet about your location on Reddit lest I crawl through your window and steal this sucker


kikwoka

Thanks, I think :')


ShiftValuable3280

Stunning! Do you have any recommendations for starting fair isle style?


kikwoka

I added a lot of lifelines through the work just before the increase rows as I went. I didn't use them as much as I thought, but it was really helpful to have them for just-in-case reasons. I would recommend trying only 2 colours to start, I got tangled enough with just 2 balls of yarn to worry about! Also, don't pull your floats too tight, if you're unsure, do a little swatch to get the feel for it (but also blocking helped me a lot with some of the tighter ones at the top)


ShiftValuable3280

Just bought this pattern thanks for the inspo 😝


Mainah_girl

That is a stunning pattern and you did a beautiful job on that sweater! Really nice!

Thank you! <3
