Black & Gray Checked Going Home Sweater

Black & Gray Checked Going Home Sweater

I rounded up all the hacks that have been done by other sexists before I started this Going Home Sweater. I took my time and incorporated all the hacks I like most:
  • Cowl from the Cuddle Tunic
  • Shoulder details
  • Colorblocked sleeves
  • Kangaroo pocket

Main Pattern: Going Home Sweater from Ellie & Mac
Cowl Pattern: Cuddle Tunic from Ellie & Mac
Thumbhole Cuffs Pattern: Lotte Colorblock Hoodie from Sinclair
Checked Fabric: 2-Way Sweater Knit (may be from So Sew English)
Faux Leather: 4-Way Stretch Knit from Joann
I made a medium, though my measurements fit me into a small. I like the looser fit, but sizing down for a t-shirt would work with looser-weave fabric. I also removed 1" from the length of the bodices to accommodate my height.

I didn't have much of the checked fabric left over for the kangaroo pocket, so I sewed together 3 pieces to create an entire front bodice. This bodice was then layered under the main front bodice piece that has the semi-circle pocket holes and sewn to the rest of the pattern pieces as though it is one bodice.

I went with the Cuddle Tunic cowl because it is smaller than the one included with the Going Home pattern. I definitely like this fit much better and may even make the Cuddle Tunic cowl smaller if I use it again later. I think this top would look good with the Be Creative cowl (another Ellie & Mac pattern).

I ended up removing about 1" front the sleeve length and 1" from the thumbhole cuffs. Thumbhole cuffs are much longer - about twice as long as the cuffs that are included with the pattern. I like to take the extra length out of the sleeve right at the wrist because I find most patterns to be tighter than I like at the wrist.
