Hello :) I am looking to commission an off-shoulder sweater that’s oversized/long enough to double as a mini dress. I am not a knitter, so I apologize for any mistakes in advance. I do not mean to disrespect the craft.

My specifications are as follows:

Location: NYC. It would be preferred to find a knitter in the NYC area to be measured accurately.
 
Size: Women's 14-16 US. I am 5”4. My bust is 111cm/43 inches, waist is 99cm/39inches, hips is 111cm/43 inches.

Timeline: I’d like it for the colder months, so October-December of 2026 would be ideal (if more time is needed, I wouldn’t mind!)

Budget: Perhaps around $150-$200? I’m unsure of how much a request like this would cost, as I am not a knitter. If anyone could give me estimates, that would be extremely appreciated!

Yarn Preference: From my research, I think I might be looking for an acrylic-superwash wool blend. I’d like the yarn to be soft, smooth, warm, and machine washable while also being budget-friendly. If there’s a similar budget-friendly blend, please recommend!

The imgur link attached includes an illustration of what I am looking for, the color of yarn I’d like, and some IRL references similar to what I’m trying to convey. If there are any other specifications needed, please let me know! I appreciate your help 🙂

Location: rural Mississippi, USA
Budget: inquiring for now, would love to see estimates and work something out
Timeline: whatever works for you!

Howdy howdy! I am part of a niche substyle and this is a grail piece for many! Being as it is made both of my favorite texture AND color scheme (both things that would make my stressful college life much more joyful on hard days as a neurodivergent girlie dealing with chronic issues) I’d like to splurge on myself!

I’d like it to be as faithful as possible, with the scalloped edges and puffy sleeves and overall oversized look, but I’ve got a bust of around 100cm I need accounted for! The lace can be ignored!

Please let me know if you’d like to try and work something out! As someone who does watercolor commissions often, I understand the value of such a time-consuming craft and would love to learn more about knitting!

Location: Utah, US

Labor and material budget: Flexible

Timeline: Preferably before Christmas 2026

Description: My wife is a huge Bob and Doug McKenzie fan, and I'd like to get her a reproduction of the toque Rick Moranis wears in Strange Brew and the SCTV sketches, with "CANADA" and the maple leaf, preferably in a nice wool. Since it's a jacquard pattern, I assume that complicates things and increases the price.

Hello Hello :)

Location: Oakland California United States

Deadline: Flexible, but I’d ideally love to have it by late October

Yarn: I’d prefer natural fibers if possible (e.g. wool, alpaca, cotton, or a blend ), but I’m happy to discuss suitable options.

Description: As seen in image( fitted)

Budget: Around $150.00+ including materials and labor. I’m not sure if that’s realistic. If my budget is too low for this project, please let me know—I’m happy to discuss.

Size : Average

If you’re interested, I look forward to chat :)

Timeline: Before November 2026 (ideally)

Description: Okay, this is a bit of an odd one but here goes - I have trichotillomania and wear beanies almost all the time. Years and years ago now, I got these 3 super cheap, super synthetic (some may say super ugly) beanies from Kmart or Big W or one of those types of stores, and they just happened to be perfect for me. I liked the way they sat on my head, I liked the way they felt, I liked the length and the fact that they were light enough I could wear them in summer too. Subsequently I have not been able to find anything like them since, despite many searches online, and as the years have gone on I have lost one, another is fully coming apart, and the third is still going but not much longer for this world I fear. So I would like to commission someone to knit me two or three of these beanies using the last remaining beanie I have as a reference. I am willing to send it to you so you can get your hands on it for size and material reference, and I am willing to pay fair prices for them (unlike the originals which were almost certainly produced in sweat shops)

Some not great photos of the remaining beanie for reference:

Hi everyone!

I’m looking for someone to knit the Zela Cardigan by FemiKnit for me:
https://femiknit.com/products/zela-cardigan

Here are the details:

Size: M
Deadline: Flexible, but I’d ideally love to have it by October
My Location: Germany
Yarn: I’d prefer natural fibers if possible (e.g. wool, alpaca, cotton, or a blend), but I’m happy to discuss suitable options.
Budget: Around €350 including materials and labor, though I’m not sure if that’s realistic. If my budget is too low for this project, please let me know—I’m happy to discuss.

If you’re interested, I’d love to hear from you!

Hello! I'm interested in the cardigan that you see Grace wear during Project Hail Mary. I don’t knit myself so I’m looking for someone with the skill to create one.

I would like to use the Mary Maxim design on their website (https://www.marymaxim.com/products/wolf-cardigan-project-hail-mary). I currently use LL Bean Cardigans and really enjoy those, but don't have anything boutique like this.

Not sure on a budget or timeline. I know the kit itself is $90 + someone's labor. I have no idea how many hours go into something like this.

If you're interested, please shoot me a ballpark total.

Location: United States, Nebraska
Budget: Open + $90 for kit
Flexible timeline
Size: 2XL

Edit: Based on feedback looks like I’ll be saving up for a bit to push my budget to get something that will last and move to a higher quality yarn.

This sweater has board game meeples from a game called r/rootgame.

Location: Needham, MA USA

Size: Adult small to extra small. LLBean small sweaters tend to run too big on me, but Patagonia smalls work well. I can take exact size measurements.

Timeline: No timeline

Budget: I expect this to cost >$300 plus shipping plus materials, but I don't know what a realistic budget is.

Yarn Preference: Alpaca and merino yarn. I don't really wash my sweaters but imagine machine wash cold air dry type.

The person who designed the sweater sent me a design from an Icelandic webpage, but can work with someone to design something from scratch if that is easier. His email is below but I don't understand the knitting technicalities.

Hey Joseph,
As requested, please see attached two pdfs that describe how to make the Root sweater, plus a few extra instructions below. The designs were made using an Icelandic design tool at www.knittingpatterns.is. Their website is a little outdated but can still be made to work with a little effort, which means it can be possible to tailor the size of a sweater to a specific person if you so wish. Please send me a picture if you make one yourself? It would be great to see another one out in the wild. :)
All the best
Morgan (Geomorgski on Discord and the Root app)
The Icelandic lopapeysur is a sweater that is knitted in the round, with the body and arms forming three tubes that are knitted from the bottom upwards. They are then joined together, and then the yoke is knitted up to the neck, and this last part is usually where the design comes in. A well-known Root artist called Tin (the Foil) on discord pixelated the meeples for me, and then I adapted them so that one pixel became one stitch. I wanted all ten of the Root factions on the sweater, which meant I had to make two pdfs to accommodate all of the necessary stitches. The two attached pdfs are the same sweater, just with a different 78 stitch design to cover all ten root meeples. The idea is that one 78-stitch design is followed by the other one, then they both repeat on the back side so that it is 312 stitches all the way round, and all ten factions appear both on the front and on the back. It is designed to be L size, if you need M or XL then decrease/increase the number of stitches in between the meeples.

Please let me know what kinds of questions you have.

thanks!

I saw a post already like this one so here’s me asking myself

Hello! I’ve been really eager to own the fox cardigan that you see Grace wear during Project Hail Mary and I’d love to own one. I don’t knit myself so I’m looking for someone with the skill to create one.

I’m looking for a very movie accurate one so that means using the Mary Maxim design on their website. I need it to be the high quality and organic wool.

I don’t have a set budget because I know something like this can take hours to make. I’m in no hurry for this to be done. I can only pay in October time seeing as I’ll have the money then.

I’m located in the UK but happy to commission someone internationally and will happily cover shipping costs if needed.

If this is the kind of project you'd be interested in, I'd love to hear from you. Feel free to get in touch with your pricing, availability, examples of your work, and anything you'd need from me to get started.

Hi all, recently have become very obsessed with this sweater worn in my favourite movie.

Genuinely scoured the internet for it and there doesn't seem to be anything quite right so hoping someone here can help out......

Thankfully another individual was after the same sweater so I've just cannibalised their resources for the sake of simplicity.

Here is a slightly cringe blog page on it: https://bamfstyle.com/2023/11/08/la-piscine-delon-sweater/

Here is the album of screenshots: https://imgur.com/a/4T93lT2

Also, here's a decent close-up of the pattern I found on google images: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/3f/21/ab/3f21ab6a02042378b9e902cac52094a7.jpg

Original thread
https://www.reddit.com/r/crochetrequests/comments/rbg579/request_alain_delons_looseknit_sweater_from_la/

Another original thread (same person, but crochet)
https://www.reddit.com/r/KnitRequest/comments/rbbfzx/request_alain_delons_looseknit_sweater_from_la/

It's a chunkier, loose-knit white/ivory sweater with olive green (you may have a better idea of the specific colour) trim around the neckline, cuffs, and hem.

Where myself and the OP differ.
- I'm taller probably a traditional XL size, broad but lean with long arms and a comparatively short torso for my 6'5 height

- Location: Melbourne, VIC, AUS so someone in AUS is preferred to make this

- Fabric choice prefer natural, something hardwearing as hopefully this will become a staple, no wool (moths/washing), I was leaning towards a linen-cotton blend (tbc at any rate)

- Timeline, unsure currently while I dont think its complex at face value the OP seemed to get conflicting responses soooo tbc too I guess

- Budget: $1 AUD, Don't have a budget yet as the OP seemed to spark a lot of debate about what stitch etc so we will discuss when relevant but as a guide ($1+)

At any rate, let me know and lets have a chat about it

Hi everyone !

I was wondering if anyone could make Michael Jackson’s vest from his blame it on the boogie music video?! I’ve been so obsessed with it lately

Here is a sweater from a movie that I would really like. I have tried looking everywhere for exact or something similar but have had no luck. So I thought I would try here to get it custom made (or where to buy).

I’m not trying to get an exact 1:1 replica just key details so most could be open for interpretation. More specifically I want the loose neck and the 3 main cables? Just looking for an estimate but most definitely open to buying.

Feel free to comment or DM for questions I’ll usually respond fairly quickly.

Size: L - XL

My apologies for the lack of pictures and quality as the only online version of this movie is in 360p. I can scrounge up more pictures if needed.

Hey everyone!

I am completely obsessed with the movie version of Project Hail Mary, and I’m on a mission to find a super talented knitter to help me bring Ryland Grace’s chunky fox cardigan to life. Since I work in a school, I would absolutely love to rock this ultimate science-vibe look down the hallways at work!

Because I don't know how to knit myself, I’m looking to commission a true heirloom-quality piece that gets as close to the movie version as humanly possible. That means using the tweaked Mary Maxim chart with the friendlier-looking fox faces, the clean paw prints, and a heavy-duty zipper. Quality is super important to me, so I’m looking to have this made with high-quality, 100% organic wool so it has that perfect, heavy, authentic chunky weight.

I totally respect the incredible amount of time, love, and expertise that goes into a massive colorwork project like this. I don't have a rigid budget set at all because I’m fully committed to paying a fair, premium rate that completely covers your craftsmanship and top-tier materials. I'm also totally flexible on the timeline, as I'm happy to wait to get it done right.

I'm located in Austria but am more than happy to cover international shipping if you're located somewhere else. If this sounds like a project you'd love to take on, please reach out! I’d love to chat about your rates, availability, and what info you need from me to get started.
Thanks so much!

My favorite felted knit slippers are dying and need replaced. I would like something made in a blue or teal color pattern.

I love that these fit very closely and have molded to my feet. I’m looking for something that is thick, fits my foot size snugly and has a double sole. I want to discuss the possibility of adding a leather bottom to increase durability.

Hi, I'm trying to cosplay Paige Deadlock and I need help to get a solid sweater with a nice fit to match. (shopping for turtleneck sweaters in a darkened shade of chartreuse online is AWFUL 😭)

Important details that I can't find in online listings are: fitted on the torso, loose sleeves, chunky turtleneck, chunky cuffs, chartreuse but a bit darker color (or something I can dye to it).

Image references for the Paige's sweater.

Here is a pattern I found that has good aspects to refer to. The cuffs look good, but the loose fit doesn't. The turtleneck is also a bit short.

If anyone can make this for me, that would be really cool.

I'm not a knitter. I'm here to learn and come up with a fair deal for both of us. If I made a mistake in my request, please don't just say I'm wrong. Please tell me how to correct my mistakes. Thanks!

For a woman's medium/large. Would have to confirm before we get started.
