Hello fiber friends!


For any of you who are watching the Game of Wool (special thanks to VPNs and YouTube for those of us outside of the UK!) and want to know what knits (and crochet) pieces the contestants are wearing in each episode, I'm scouring the internet so you don't have to!


For those I couldn't find the exact pattern, I've included links to similar patterns in case you want to cast on another project:

Ailsa wore another vintage pattern, this time inspired by Two Raglan Cardigans

by Lister & Co (Knitting Wools).

Holger wore another colorful and custom sweater vest in this episode, inspired by his own Gander sock pattern, If you want to give it a go, you could adjust your favorite sweater vest to fit the sock pattern!

Issac's followed in Simon's footsteps with another top that doesn't look hand knit, or if it is there was (hopefully) a knitting machine involved!

Lydia did us a solid and shared the pattern on her Instagram again so I didn't have to go down the Ravelry rabbit hole! She wore Wool and the Gang's Toto Sweater.

Oh Simon - I should have known it'd be another hoodie!

Tracy broke her WestKnits shawl streak with a cowl! After a Ravelry deep dive I was only able to find honorable mentions for similar patterns: - Molino Cowl by Kristel Nieves - Cygnus Cowl by Meredith Collins
