Designer Tara-Lynn Morrison of the hand-knitting brand, Good Night, Day, is devoted to eye-catching jumbo-yarn knits, like this Seed Pod Pullover. Distinctive panels of double seed stitch and billowing sleeves bring character and whimsy and elevate this sweater from merely quick to also beautiful!

Hi Audrey,
Thanks for reaching out! This pattern only comes in one version, and all of the photos both online and in the pattern are of the one sweater, no different versions! It is a long-sleeved sweater that hits about the top of your hips (as you can see worn by the model!) If you like, you may be able to adjust the pattern a bit for a cropped version!

Hi there, before I buy this pattern I would like to know if I can knit it in such a way that the front body is in stockinette like the back. I only want the seed pod pattern to be on the sleeves. Hopefully this is possible by substituting stockinette stitches for the pattern section. Thanks!

We totally understand that sometimes our yarn suggestions are more of an inspiration than a reality for many people. We are always happy to recommend less expensive (but still beautiful!) alternatives. In this case, we suggest that you try Woolly Wool, which comes in 200g (109yd) skeins, making each skein more cost-effective than a skein of Gentle Giant.

Thanks for reaching out. If you omit the box stitch portion of the sleeves, and just knit in plain stockinette stitch, that will probably result in a look that you prefer! The sleeves will still have a ton of ease, since there are no decreases at all. Hope this helps!

Thank you for writing in! That is correct, you will have 4 raglan markers total! We always recommend your beginning of round marker be unique from the others so that you can easily identify where your rounds begin and end! I hope this helps but please let me know if you have any other questions!

A light, buttery sugar cookie with lemon zest and oil means lemon from the moment you open the box until the last bite. Edged in poppy seeds is a nod to the always popular muffin and adds a nice crunch.

Back by popular demand, this is our second season featuring the Bea Sweater. The seed stitch sweater design gives a slight texture without adding weight. Our bright color combinations add to its light springtime feel. The Bea Sweater hits at the waist with a side slit for movability and added style. This lightweight sweater will be your everyday favorite.

Didn't know if I'd have time for the sweater to grow, but I took a chance. Sweater didn't start sprouting until day three, but from then on it went crazy. The final photos are from day nine, so it was plenty green enough.

I had a heavy brown wool sweater with paint stains, holes and missing buttons. Still I was rather fond of it, good outdoor winter work sweater. I even went to the thrift store and bought a nice green sweater, but it was too nice to ruin, so I went back to my original ugly brown sweater. Best to have a synthetic sweater made from bulky fuzzy yarn, easier for the chia seeds to root. Plus it wouldn't weigh as much as a wet wool or cotton sweater.

I had no idea how much chia seed to buy, so I bought two pounds, which was about 26 ounces too much. Six ounces is plenty for a big sweater. Mix your seed with a one to six ratio seed to water. Six ounces is about 3/4 cup, so about 5 cups water. Mix in a container and let set for 1/2 hour to one hour. It will be gelatinous and slimy, amazingly so.

I was worried about the sweater kind of growing together, so I filled a small garbage bag and two newspaper bags with crumpled newspaper, taped together and attached to a plastic hanger. It might have been okay without this step, but I didn't want to have to pull open the sleeves, yuck. I soaked the sweater in cold water and squeezed out excess, didn't do a good job of it, because it was dripping, a lot. I hung the sweater on a standing coat hanger, covered the bottom of the hanger in plastic and set the coat hanger in a plastic bin meant to mix concrete.

I wish I could tell you some efficient way to implant the seeds on the sweater that isn't icky, but the easiest way is simply to take a handful of slimy seeds and spread it on the sweater. I started at the shoulders and worked down. I tried rubbing the seed in, but really the seed will stick to just about anything.

This would have been a much easier process if I had an extra bathroom with a shower. Even better if the shower had a window. Then I could have just hung the sweater in the shower, though you'd still need to seal the shower drain to catch random seeds. Don't need sprouts coming out of your shower drain.

Because I had so much leftover seed, I decided to cover a large polo shirt. I didn't hold out much hope for the shirt because it was a polished cotton shirt. I expected the seed to slide right off the shirt, but it did a pretty good job of sticking.

It's the middle of December, so the days are short and it's been raining. Still I was optimistic. I set up two drying racks to suspend a sheet of plastic. I was trying to create a greenhouse effect. It might have grown okay without the plastic, but I think it helped keep in the moisture and heat. Kept the sweater at room temperature in front of french doors for as much daylight as possible.

When I started to panic that it wasn't going to grow in time, I borrowed a panel of LED lights from a friend and illuminated them at night in front of the sweater. Also because I was worried about the time constraint, I only exposed the front of the sweater to daylight. Weird thing was that the back side sprouted out before the front. But eventually the front was much greener than the back. If you start out a couple weeks ahead you'd have plenty of time to rotate light exposure from front to back.

It's day nine, time to decorate the sweater. Bought small ornaments, but any decorations would do. Didn't want to decorate too much. Wouldn't want to take away from the chia. Be careful decorating, because the sprouts are fragile and compress easily. Don't think it'd be wise to make a pair of chia pants. But it would be interesting to grow a sheetful to cover a cubicle wall for April Fools. The options are endless.
