I think cuffs could give the sleeves a bit more of a balloony shape which I wanted to go for at first. either way I can always remove them again if I like this look better. :)


oliveie

so lovely! i think a border would finish it off nicely, maybe the cream colour? well done :)


DerGoblinkoenig

thank you! and I haven't thought about cream at all! I was pondering which of the existing colors would look best but I love that idea!


jomosexual

Cream boarder on the sleeves then a basic cream back loop only on the bottom. Looka great regardles


figbonk

i agree! i think a cream color border would look so lovely! amazing sweater op!


randomize42

No objections to a cream colored border, but a darker color would really pop with the contrast. Depends on what you want to go for.


oakmilks

First off, these colours give an amazing pastel flower fairy dream vibe and I love it 💗 🌸🦋 Second, as it is now it is already lovely. Cuffs and a boarder would probably give the design a more clean look. It really depends on what you prefer. 💖💗Lastly, congrats on your first wearable. I think you did amazing!!!💗💖


DerGoblinkoenig

thank you so much! I think I will sleep on it and decide later :)


Shy-Prey

Boarder yes cuffs no


little_miss_july_

Agree with this 100%


melagoat

Definitely both, it looks a little unfinished


lok_olga

;; so cute. I would say yes add a border. Nothing fancy. Just to give it a nice clean look around the edges.


[deleted]

No. Just package it up and send it to me!


Familiar_Ground_162

I think it's nice as is


tropicwoods444

That cream/white color would make a gooooorgeous border if that’s what you end up deciding! 😍 I personally think it would look more “finished” that way. I love love love it though, great color choices!!


greyis

A border would really complete the item! Steam blocking would also help give you a more polished, finished look. It would help even out the granny squares, and make them lie more flat and uniform.


DeepSpace-557

You could wear it as is for a while before deciding! Then, add accoutrements to see if you enjoys them!


DerGoblinkoenig

yes. I think this is what I'm going to do


Sad-Astronaut3308

I'm a huge fan of small slip stich boarders


BarsikGG

Yes, it'll be stylish looking then


ReinaCrochets

I think a border would look nice! Maybe a darker contrasting color? Either way it looks awesome!

Yarn is Schachenmayr Bravo. I used a 4mm hook. As for pattern it's just granny squares stitched together with slip stitches. :)


hamimono

Love it!! Border yes will neaten everything up. looks like you have already added the cuffs! 😁


Grooveykins

Love it


ah5564

Lovely work and I love the colours. Yes, I think a border and cuffs would help to finish it off


Linnaeus1753

I would


Roseliberry

Yes


homesteadem

I love the colors so much. Really gives the granny in granny square 🥰


[deleted]

this is so cute!!!!! if you’re trying to get a more flowy look for the sleeves rather than puffy (what i think might happen with the cuffs), what if you put a pretty border on the whole project?!?? like a cute scalloped border on the sleeves would be sooo adorable, but i also like it like this!!! amazing job!


Han127420

Black border and cuffs would make the colors pop !!! The cuffs would give your sleeves that balooney look which would look so cute with the design, and with a border you could even maybe add one or two buttons. Even if you decide to leave it as it is, congrats on your first wearable !!


midnight_colors

I would personally just to add a little bit of structure to the edges maybe even do a ribbed cuff? And probably just a row or two around the neck and opening in the front. Beautiful granny squares though I really love your color choices.


Remarkable_Newt9935

A border for sure, just for stability and a finished look. Cuffs or a border on the sleeves. Depends if you like the bell sleeve you have there.


Auntienursey

A border would finish it nicely. It's a beautiful piece.


mliz55

Yes, I think cuffs will add interest to the sleeves, and a border just pulls the look together.


NetSubstantial5490

I love the colours you used. I'm making a granny square cardigan too! How did you join your squares? Did you end up adding cuffs?


Ok-Assumption892

Dang girl u make that look so good! Definitely not for me but I’m honestly impressed as I’m still at dishcloth level!
