The Monster Sweater Blæh! - Pattern

Blæh! is a simple two-color raglan sweater knitted in Alpakka from Sandes Garn. We promise that everyday life will quickly become a little extra fun and silly for those who wear a real monster sweater where Vimsekoppen, Lurifaksen and Fjolleper play, fool around and joke.

About the embroidery:

The monsters are embroidered with only one type of stitch, backstitch. Follow the drawings in the pattern.

We first embroider the outline around the shapes, then we fill in with colors inside (fill stitches).

The fill stitches should be as close as possible to avoid the background color showing through. They can be overlapped to your advantage.

It's nice to vary the length of these stitches.

NB! The look will be most beautiful if you let the stitches follow the curves of the shapes.

It is up to you whether you want to buy the embroidery thread we have used, or whether you want to use leftover yarn that you already have. NB! Remember that if you use leftover yarn, you must be sure that the yarn you embroider with is made of the same material as the yarn you knit the vest with. We therefore recommend embroidering a little on a sample patch and test washing it if you are unsure about the yarn choice. Different quality of yarn can cause the garment to be damaged in the wash.
