Thou shalt not covet …this Wyse cardigan

[LazyDoll]

Please help me find an alternative to this cardigan

I want it SO much but that price is just eye wateringly expensive

I’ve searched high and low (online!) for a chunky colourful cardigan (or anything that’s just not black/navy or cream/oatmeal will do) and can’t find anything similar.

I’m after THE ultimate snuggly cardigan to take me into autumn pre coat season and for cuddling up in front of the fire.

Any help would be gratefully received

Gosh!

Knit one? Or ask the knitter in your life to do so. It’s a very hand-knit style.

If you know someone that can crochet , they could do that for you at a fraction of that price !

Eeek I know no knitters or crocheters…may need to widen my circle of friends

Believe it or not, Asda have a couple of colourful cardigans in at the moment. This one is lovely but might be a bit too cropped

If you can afford it just buy it, or at least order it and see if it seems worth the cost. Time is money, how much time have you wasted looking for a cheaper alternative? Treat yourself. Cost per wear it’ll work out cheap enough in the end.

Different colours and style but definitely colourful and snuggly.

It’s a bit home-spun looking.

Beat me to it. Wouldn't take a lot of knitting. And you could pick your own colours!

Thewillbefood just not snuggly enough but thank you 😊 and you remind fed me to check out Tu which often has some hidden gems. Not this time though.

TooWicked no sadly I can’t afford/justify buying it for myself. I have spotted this alternative though …

The Zara one is nicer and is alpaca blend the expensive one looks like a hand knit

@LazyDoll
Can you not find a knitter on FB that charges for their time

If you have a wool shop nearby, they often have knitters who knit stuff for them. Worth an ask?

Have you looked on Etsy? There's some similar ones on there.

I saw something similar in Primark (obviously not as nice!) with pastel colours. I too covet almost everything on the Wyse website but it’s just tooo expensive.

I’m not on FB but I DO have a local wool shop! Great idea I’ll pop in next week and have a chat!

….looking on Etsy now

Holy Mary Mother of God, my eyes are burning from that Zara link.

I do like the Hush one though.

I can knit, wouldn't take long to knock something like that up. Anyone got any good patterns?

If they don't have a pattern for it, I suspect there'll be one for free on Ravelry.

I thought it was just me. Is that meant to help sell it??

I was going to suggest Asda too. I'm sure that they had another bright one that was chunkier but I can't find it online.

I prefer the Hush one!

I’m afraid the Zara one doesn’t do it for me either. It’s a bit Magic Eyey….

Just go on Ravelry and look for cardi patterns.

I have the neon pink Hush summer cardie (wardrobe 80% Hush) so that’s a firm second choice at the mo.

Found patterns!

Would take no time at all to knit, and you can pick your own colours. A haberdashery would be able to find you a suitable alternative wool yarn if you didn't want to use what is suggested.
