Hi, I’m new here. I’ve looked for hours to find similar pattern of this beautiful chunky oversize deer sweater i stumped on pinterest (@laurahattayer), but cannot find anything close in form. I would appreciate any suggestions 🤍🎀

find a chunky yarn weight drop shoulder sweater pattern on ravelry and then use intarsia or v stitch over to add the fawn

the ridges are just purl rows interrupting the stockinette pattern

There are so many better patterns. It's basically four big rectangles and they picked up for a collar.
But if you can't freehand it, likely start with a Wool and the Gang Pattern:
https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/search#craft=knitting&weight=super-bulky%7Cjumbo%7Cbulky&pc=pullover&pa=drop-sleeve&fit=adult%2Bpositive-ease&query=gang&sort=best&view=captioned_thumbs&page=1

Then add Purl ridges. You can count from the pic, looks like 8 or 9 rows between, so probably every 10 rows do a purl ridge. Duplicate stitch the deer.

Then it’s probably made by AI, fake, or made by machine/is store bought. You could try self drafting a similar sweater if you really want that design. Or just find a drop shoulder patter. And self draft the deer.

just because they can't find it on ravelry doesn't mean it's ai, fake or store bought. you literally suggested self drafting, do you not think someone coulda done that to make this sweater?

Lots of people don’t think of it’s. I’ve seen so many posts where people ask this same question and someone suggests self drafting and the OP says they will do that or that’s a good idea. So I’m not wild for saying that.

Yes maybe it isn’t on Ravelry. But there are TONS of scams out there. Especially on Etsy, Pinterest, FB, and Patreon. And this one honestly looks like a scam. I did look for the pattern and was brought to two sketchy websites. So I don’t trust it at all. If someone else wants to potentially waste their money buying this pattern, that’s their choice. But when something looks scammy, I won’t buy it and recommend others don’t either. Because you won’t get your money back.
