I think you could knit either. If you look at project pages for the Braidy loop cardigan, people have used just over 1000yd for it. The Korshaven is also beautiful. You inspire me…..I’m off to work on my own sweater spin!!
I'm voting for the basket weave stitch cardigan. As you were moving around with your sample swatch on the video, I could see the pattern while you held the swatch in different positions. BTW your yarn turned out so beautiful!
Wow I had no idea that Gotland had such an intense, natural halo 😍My vote would be for the braidy loop! Maybe you could find spots where you could sub in similar yarns to get the full yardage, like on the bind offs?
Omg I've been waiting for this video! I am so excited to see whatever pattern you choose for this yarn. I do think you seem to vibe with the Korshaven more. Side note- your eyeliner is soooo cute in this video!! Very fall, I love it
My vote goes to The Braidy Loop Cardigan ... I think it will look so beautiful in that colour.. Also calling your attention to the sunday Cardigan.. that will look beautiful as well, simple yet elegant
Not sure if you have chosen yet but the creabea has the stick season jacket coming out in the next month or so which I think would suit the yarn well 😊
The Loki or Siri are my preference. The simple style shows off the beautiful wool. Btw my first cardigan with steeks was a baby sweater so it was less scary.
I love so many of these options. I think a textured knit will be so perfect with this rustic yarn. I have wanted to knit the Korshavn so badly thanks to akaNoraKnits! I am knitting the Dagmar jacket right now and also love my Book club cardigan, highly recommend both patterns. whatever you choose out of these will be so beautiful with this fiber 🖤
Thank you so much! It’s definitely been a tough decision, I’m still unsure, hehe 🌻💛 Ouuu! The Dagmar jacket also looks like such a cute, very cozy knit!
You could knit either of those garments! Keep in mind that the yardage provided by the designers is usually more than you would need in reality...that said, I think you should go for the Korshavn!!
Beautiful yarn! and also beautiful patterns! To be honest though, personally I would go for a rather simple texture (and bigger texture) because it wouldn't read very well. Not just because of the fuzziness of the yarn but also because of the heathering. I would chose a pattern that lets the texture and color of the yarn itself shine.
You made a beautiful batch of yarn! The Korshavn seems to really speak to you and is quite lovely. Why not swatch for it and see if it works with your handspun? If not, you could find a great yarn for it down the road and end up with two beautiful sweaters.
I love the Bookish Cardigan. My hesitation is that your yarn is darker and tweedy so it might not show off all that work. There’s an old Debbie Bliss pattern like this in cotton that I made but it’s harder to knit these details without stretchy wool. Your yarn is beautiful.
Just a comment on yardage - most designers will pad their yardage estimates 10-20% to account for gauge swatches and small differences in tension. I would not worry over being barely 10 yards short.
I can't help but chuckle when you call a 2021 pattern 'old'. Makes me feel ancient 😂 ❤
ahhh mee too! I just blame it on Instagram culture and how it pushes the newer patterns at me, making anything in the past years feel old!😂💙
I love the Brady loop for that yarn but it's beautiful and will be gorgeous no matter what you choose 💙
Thanks you!

Thank you!!! This is such a hard decision for me for some reason 🫣😅🤭

Thank you! thats a Great idea!!
I vote for the basket weave cardi. Do it! It will be gorgeous!
If I had to choose a second, it would be the one with the cables on the sleeve.
Thank you!!! ❤️ 🌸

I love the excitement!! 😊 & thank you I've been really into this burgundy eyeliner lately💜 hehe
My vote goes for the basket cardi. I love this stitch. Maybe you can find someone on Ravelry who used a similar yarn to help your decision 😊.

Thanks for sharing!! yes thats true the sunday cardigan is a lovely Knit as well
Not sure if you have chosen yet but the creabea has the stick season jacket coming out in the next month or so which I think would suit the yarn well 😊
Im still on the fence for which pattern to knit hahah I will take a look at her jacket, Thank you!
The Loki or Siri are my preference. The simple style shows off the beautiful wool. Btw my first cardigan with steeks was a baby sweater so it was less scary.
@lillianbarker4292 That's great advice actually! Maybe I could make something smaller to steek🤍✨️

thank you! yea I have the same hesitation.. i really wanted to knit a cable knit, but I think I will need to do that with a different yarn. 🤍 ☺️
I love the clara cardigan! I think it would look amazing but I worry the calbes will get lost in the halo of the yarn :(
yeah! this is my worry too... yet im still torn on which pattern🤍 ☺️
Just a comment on yardage - most designers will pad their yardage estimates 10-20% to account for gauge swatches and small differences in tension. I would not worry over being barely 10 yards short.
thank you! That is true i often finish projects with extra yarn left over
Your fabric seems to have a lot of drape. I think you should pick the Garden Sweater. The lace pattern is beginner friendly and you will see it!!!
Thanks for the tip! i will take a look at it!
i vote LO-KI :D
