Hello all! Have any of you tried adding bust darts to your knits? If so, do you have any tips or tricks on adding them to patterns you’re following? I hear about bust darts and how they can help tailor your knits, especially knitting in the round. Thank you!

Hello everyone! I hope you’re all having a magical day. I’m new to the concept of assigned pooling yarn, and I would love to see how you all utilize this type of yarn in your sweaters or knitted tops. I’ve been knitting for about two years now, although I’ve been crocheting for 12 years. As I’ve continued my knitting journey, I’ve realized that I really enjoy set in sleeve constructions. I also appreciate knitted garments worked flat and seamed together, as well as designs that are partially knit flat and partially in the round. I have an hourglass figure with broader shoulders, a fuller bust, and wider hips, and I’ve noticed that certain construction styles are much more complementary to my body shape than others. Because of this, I’m especially interested in seeing how different knitters incorporate assigned pooling yarn into garments with various construction methods. I’m currently working on the Elan Sweater, which I absolutely adore so far! 🌻🪻🌷 Thank you all for sharing your knowledge, experiences, and inspiration! - Adriana Esquer (Houston, Texas)

It’s done! Yay! Now it just needs to be blocked. I really enjoyed working this pattern! It was so different from most patterns I do, so that was a fun change. I did make some alterations to the pattern. I didn’t add the neckband as I liked the way the collar looked without it. I only worked the body for 8.5” from underarm so that I was more of a cropped top. And I only worked one row with MC for the sleeves after separation without joining in the round then bound off to have a small cap sleeve. I’m excited to see how it fits after blocking! https://www.ravelry.com/projects/sonyanoelle/refracta-sweater
