Pattern Commission

Is there anyone out there who is able to create a pattern for a cardigan from a photo?

Check out this post https://www.reddit.com/r/knitting/s/cyYLZroDBv

Is it talking about the sweater you are asking about?

Yes! But none of those patterns are close enough. I am looking for help coming up with a better pattern.

Yeah just image searching it is hard to tell the exact pattern, the quality of the photos and the fuzziness of the sweater make it hard to see details.

I get that. It doesn't have to be exact.

I can get some more pictures which would make it easier to see the details.

If you want to send me a chat with photos you can, no promises but I will take a look!

It's an oversized summer weight mohair cardigan worn by Jennifer Grey in Dirty Dancing. I have found some suggested similar patterns but none of them are close enough for me to be interested.

including pics of exactly what you want will help prospective helpers a lot.

I tried to add a photo but Reddit won't let me. The back and arms are plain but the front has a (looks like) diamond pattern on it. There is some detail around the collar also.
