Finished Object – Betty Boyfriend Sweater 2

Leave a comment

I am continuing playing catch-up with my backlog of finished projects this week. Just giving a heads-up that these pictures are not recent. I am not wearing sweaters and jeans to take photos right now, even inside. This finish is from February 2023.

I made my first Betty Boyfriend Sweater by Talia’s Crochet Creations a few years back, and I loved it so much I had to make one in another color. I had an abandoned project with a large amount of Comfy fingering weight yarn, which I held double to match the pattern gauge.

I sized up for this one to be more of a top layer than a wear-alone sweater like the original. However, I didn’t take notes on the sizing, so I don’t recall if I made the size large or if I just made my gauge slightly larger and used the size medium numbers.

I used all the Seafoam yarn I had (452 g, about 9 skeins) and 77g of the Planetarium yarn (about 1.5 skeins). Again, not much help if I can’t remember what I did about the sizing, but maybe it can help someone with their sweater planning.
