From the fall Urban Outfitters catalog. The red one is kind of fascinating - it's one big piece of circular fabric with arm holes and some slight shaping around the arms. When I saw it in the store it actually looked like it might have been a square with a half-moon sewn to each side. I wonder what the best way would be to accomplish that?
Posted by jess at July 22, 2005 10:02 AMoooh, I really like the red sweater. I'd be down for trying to figure it out too.. Maybe it could even be knit in one piece. I once heard about a woman who would buy a garment, take it home and figure out exactly how it was knitted, then return it. very tempting idea.
Posted by: Diana at July 22, 2005 10:41 AMIve been eyeing that red one for a while now as well. I still havent seen it in person though.
Posted by: yahaira at July 22, 2005 10:45 AMThere was a similar item in the Winter 04/05 Vogue Knitting (#20, in "Zaniba" by Colinette.) That might be a good place to start.

Posted by: mindy at July 22, 2005 11:54 AMNow that I think about it, the red sweater looks mighty similar to the Hot Lava cardi, in the way that it's cut.

Posted by: mindy at July 22, 2005 12:08 PMI just got my urban catalog and saw that red one too! I immediately was thinking of how they constructed it.
Posted by: Angela at July 22, 2005 12:12 PMHave you seen the Rebecca pattern here (http://www.rebecca-online.com/en/anleit/heft_29_anl_15.pdf)? The mesh pattern looks similar to the cardigan on the left...

Posted by: Colette at July 22, 2005 12:59 PMOoh, so pretty! I have moved to the land of no UO. And I can't figure out where to sign up for a catalog? I bet you come up with something abfab. I love your inquiring mind.
Posted by: Giao at July 22, 2005 1:32 PMHello??? I am in LOVE w/ the red one! Maybe we could all figure it out together????
Posted by: Skylar at July 22, 2005 1:53 PMLove love love the red one, too. I'd be game for trying something out...
Posted by: Megann at July 22, 2005 3:37 PMThere were a TON of great sweaters similar to the one on the right at Wet Seal yesterday. I wonder what the sales people would say if I whipped out a camera and started making measurements :)
Posted by: Kym at July 22, 2005 10:47 PMthere's a sweater which looks VERY similar to the red one and has a pattern available for purchase that could just use some tweaking (and a better fit on the model, as well): http://123knit.com/catalog/product_info.php?currency=USD&cPath=38_56&products_id=113
