FO: Hamburger Sweater
It’s done! I’m a little baffled by the fact that I finished Jon’s hamburger sweater in 21 days. That’s less than a month, people. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised since the Blue Sky Techno is pretty chunky and I was working on size 8s and it was all stockinette. But I don’t think I’ve ever knit anything that quickly besides maybe a little hat.
Come on. This is a record, ladies and gents.
Alright, I admit, I didn’t block the sweater before we took these pictures. I’ve since done that and it really loosened things up. I think it looks a little snug in the photos and the neck sits weird and the back ribbing kept flipping up. But after the blocking, it looks fantastic. It fits him really well and it’s big and comfy and so so soft.
I hope this sweater has broken my curse with boyfriend sweaters. Now I just have to put that other one back together…
I’m most excited about the fact that he looks like a big hamburger! Couldn’t you just eat him up!?

I love it! I also love that you only did the stripes on one sleeve, that’s a fabulous detail. Yay sweaters!
Thanks! I thought that doing stripes on both sleeves was too typical. I wanted to change it up for something that looks really handmade.
It looks great! Good job knitting it so fast
Thanks! I feel invincible!
Congratulations on getting such a good fit! It looks great and the concept is hilarious.
