If you’re over 40 like me, you’ve probably noticed the amusing resurgence of everything related to the year 2000—especially fashion, music, and TV shows.

Younger generations are embracing the aesthetics, but also the feeling of simpler times—less technology, more genuine connections.

Does this mean that we, millennials, are officially the older generation now? Probably yes… but I could swear we were just babies a few years ago! But I digress.

This new design is inspired by all those iconic late ’90s and early ’00s TV shows where the leading ladies rocked light, basic t-shirts paired with jeans or mini skirts. Think Friends, Gilmore Girls, and Felicity. Honestly, it’s amazing how many turtlenecks people wore back then! But don’t worry—I’m not diving into the turtleneck trend just yet. Still too soon for me!

I created a mood board with all my references here. Enjoy!

About the pattern:
Fav Nostalgia Show is a top-down, seamless pullover with raglan sleeves. Short rows are included to enhance the fit of the collar. You can choose to knit it with or without waist shaping, making it versatile for your style. The collar is designed to be 5 inches long, but you can easily modify it for a more open neckline—just knit it shorter!

It’s available in a wide range of sizes, accommodating bust circumferences from 32 to 64 inches (81 to 162 cm), ensuring a great fit for everyone.

TECHNIQUES
Wrap and turn short rows, make one left/right, make one purl left/right, decreases (k2tog, ssk), put stitches on hold, work small circumferences (magic loop or double pointed needles).
