6 Sézane sweaters you can knit yourself | Knitting pattern lookalikes | Fall 2023

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

I was feeling inspired and curious after seeing a photo on Instagram of a knit Sézane cardigan and started compiling a list of pattern lookalikes. after a quick search, these are the results!*
*Please note some patterns only go to a size 4XL/58" bust, therefore, I have not titled this as "size-inclusive". I have chosen to share this list in hopes those who are aware of matching size inclusive patterns can "chime" in and note patterns in the comments accordingly.
I had a limited amount of search time and wanted that to be an example of how much more difficult it is to search and find size-inclusive patterns to match the Sézane knitwear. I did come across other matching patterns but many of them only went up to a 44" bust.
Knitting patterns in order of appearance:
Maybury Cardigan - Ami Lowden
Capbreton - Emilie Luis
Ribbed Raglan Pullover - Purl Soho
Luna Tee - Charissa
CARDI Jumper - Vert Knits
Marine - Emilie Luis
Eclair Raglan - Penrose Knits
Amara Sweater - Rachel Kurihara

    Such great finds!! I am always admiring Sezane's knitwear and rummaging through ravelry to figure out which ones I can recreate, so it's so fun to see you do a roundup in a video! Emilie Luis really has so many great designs, definitely channels the same French vibe as Sezane.

    Great idea! Thank you! I recently was inspired by Sezane’s Gaspard Cardigan in red with white mother of pearl buttons. I’m now making my own version with Petite Knit’s Copenhagen Cardi pattern without the pockets in red using Drops Baby Merino held with Drops Kid Silk. It’s coming along nicely.😊

    I'm so happy about this one! I've been getting ads since they're in Canada now, and screenshotting sweaters I thought I could knit - and now this saves so much effort 🥹

    Thanks for the video. I have often thought I'd like to make a Sezane type of sweater. They don't always use purely natural fibres either, so I would like to make my own version.

    Very good idea ! I do like Sezane sweaters but when I think I could definitely knit them, I prefer not to buy their sweaters. I do have a cardigan (the Angelie Cardigan) that I would love to replicate but finding a lookalike one on Ravelry is not easy. Thank you for this video !

    Drops Design has a free pattern that looks like the Melvin Jumper called Buttercream Swirls.

    The ribbed raglan pullover does have 6” negative ease so it should fit 60” bust. I would say they are all size inclusive then? Great finds 👍 it’s really hard to get that slim, light fit like the machin knits though… and I don’t want to knit a garment in 3 or 2 mm needles 😂 (FYI there is a Korean KZreadr who does that!!! Amazing)

    It’s like you read my mind, lol. I was just thinking the other day about how I can knit some of these sweaters and how it would be more cost effective to purchase the yarn or stash dive to make them. Thank you Mel! 🩷

    I love your videos 😊 And have one more recommendation, for Aretha Jumper, from Sezane collection, it’s a Saguaro Sweater by Camille K on Ravelry, she also has a cardigan version - Saguaro Cardigan by Camille K (this one I’m making right now).

    Thanks so much for watching and for the recommendation of the Saguaro Sweater. I did see that one during my search. It's a beautiful design but didn't make it in the video as it only goes up to a 44-47" /112-119cm bust.

    I did come across that pattern and it is a great lookalike, however, after accounting for recommended ease, the pattern only goes up to a 47"/120cm bust circumference.

    @@stringthingsbymel Yeah, the sizing is too bad. I knit it in a cotton cashmere and it turned out great. I am not a designer but it is such a "simple" pattern, I would think grading it for bigger sizes shouldn't be too difficult??

  • @stringthingsbymel

    @stringthingsbymel

    7 ай бұрын

    I don't believe grading should be too difficult (a tech editor can help with this too) but I imagine that finding testers for the larger sizes is a barrier to some designers. With other designers offering size inclusive patterns, why isn't that the norm? Definitely raises lots of questions!
