Asking for a friend. Clarity on how to go about instructions for the right front panel if they give you the pattern for the left but it’s complicated with eyelets and shaping. I have no idea how to go about it!!

This is the second time a boyfriend of mine has felted a knit hat!! How else can I say, this must be hand-washed and blocked besides saying, “This must be hand-washed and blocked dry?” Does anyone else have this issue when they gift knit creations to non-knitters?
lol not that mad, it’s potentially still wearable, just needed a little vent. At least it is not as bad as the last felted hat - that one turned out to be a yarmulke, but this hat did lose its squishy fisherman rib. ?

Can anyone recommend your favorite not-too-advanced, seamless, top-down sweater patterns? I've just made Midori Hirose's White Mountains twice and am working on Turtle Dove II from Espace Tricot now. I think it's time to move on.
I'm a self-taught knitter who still makes a lot of weird mistakes and constantly has to look up m1L and m1R so I'm JUST now realizing how great this method is and would love more ideas. Yes, I have faceted the shit out of Ravelry searches.

The pattern, Pumpkin Time, recommends 4mm needles for 20 stitches across 10cm in double moss. I knit 3 swatches and finally got gauge with 5mm needles doing combination knitting with the knits and purls. This is blocked.
Mentally that just feels like a huge needle to use with fingering + lace.
I think the stitches look nice but if I hold it up to light it’s clearly very holey. Draping it over my skin doesn’t look weird but it’s just tripping me up.
Further, I’m using knitting for Olive merino which the site lists as Fingering, but ravelry lists as Light Fingering… which is potentially the ..read more
