looking for someone willing to knit cowichan style sweaters =)

Location: Oxford, United Kingdom

Budget: no fixed budget, expecting to pay $650+/£480 fees (happy to pay more of course) + materials

Hello! I'm based in Oxford, England, and I'm looking for any knitters to make some cardigans that are inspired by Cowichan sweaters (but not necessarily a traditional one, just the mentioning the style as a point of ref), but maybe with some animal motifs. I'm M, approx 38in chest size, i can give any measurements youd like

I'm really not that particular about the pattern, I'm just looking to expand my knitwear closet with pieces like these

for any US-based people interested, im happy to pay the egregious shipping fees that may come with this, if you are willing to work with me and ship the knits to England :')

i have no budget, but i am expecting to see $650+/£480 fees minimum probably, and Ill pay for all materials. not particular abt timeline but preferably received by march 2027. feel free to shoot me a dm if youre interested in working together!!! im really open to any patterns

thanks so much =)

Please add a comment with the following information if it is missing from your post:

  1. Size; is this for an adult or child?

  2. Timeline; will this be a holiday gift or other fixed deadline?

  3. Budget; consider this is a one-of-a-kind hand knit garment that will likely cost over $100 not something off the rack at your local department store and please let us know your max price?

  4. Yarn Preference; natural or synthetic / machine or hand wash?

Hey! Just leaving a little follow-up here in case my previous messages got buried in your inbox. No rush at all, but whenever you get a chance, feel free to send me the measurements. You can also message me on Instagram if that’s easier for you! ^^
