Knitted some patches for my partner’s house sweater

[u/fraxinusv]

I made him some socks with this yarn and then used the leftover for some little seed stitch patches that he sewed on.

What is a house sweater? like a pair of house slippers, you kind of wear it after work?

[u/fraxinusv → u/Ok_Lion_5272]

Exactly! It’s a sweater that’s cozy but maybe not so presentable out in public

You’re British, I bet. 😀 I’m a Southern Yank. 😝

[u/fraxinusv → u/Ok_Lion_5272]

Haha nope, but I’ll take that as a compliment. I live in the PNW :)

[u/realityfooledme → u/fraxinusv]

Maybe it’s a PNW thing, I’m in WA reading this in my house sweater.

I'm from Australia and we definitely have house jumper/shirt/pants lmao. It's just stuff you don't wear outside because it's kinda daggy, but it's cozy and comfy.

[u/Ok_Lion_5272 → u/kitarei]

I love it. I’m gonna go pick out a house sweater!

[u/Ok_Lion_5272 → u/realityfooledme]

That’s wonderful 😂

I love this! I am a beginner knitter and new to this. Do you knit the patches and then sew them on or do you somehow interweave them, if i may ask?

[u/fraxinusv → u/gabrieldevue]

I knit them and then he sewed them on using embroidery thread! There are other methods like Swiss darning if you want to repair a knit object more seamlessly :)

[u/gabrieldevue → u/fraxinusv]

thank you so much! I love the look and the sentiment and just everything about this!

[u/fraxinusv → u/gabrieldevue]

Aww, thank you!

[u/Kitchen-Owl-7323]

Wow that sleeve patch is particularly great!

[u/Ok_Lion_5272]

Very, very nice work 👏🏻

[u/FloraP]

looks really neat!

[u/Clairemoonchild]

I love the terminology! I also have warm old sweaters that I would never wear out of the house!

[u/LadyCoyo7e]

Is it seed stitch or purl side for the patches?

[u/fraxinusv → u/LadyCoyo7e]

Seed stitch!
