Introduction: A Surprising Delight
At first glance, I wasn’t sure how much I would enjoy Only Murders in the Building, a quirky series where neighbors team up to investigate murders for their true-crime podcast. However, I found myself captivated not just by the intriguing plot but also by the show’s delightful costumes, particularly the stunning knitwear. Among the characters, Selena Gomez’s portrayal of Mabel shines, especially with her impressive collection of knitted garments.

The Inspiration Behind Mabel's Knits
One standout piece from the series is a vibrant yellow sweater that first caught my eye in the pilot episode. Designed by Joji Locatelli, this pullover embodies Mabel’s unique style and is perfect for any knitting enthusiast looking to channel her flair. The sweater is characterized by its top-down construction and a charming waddle texture, making it a fun project for knitters of all levels.
Knitting Made Simple: The Pattern Breakdown
The design utilizes a combination of traditional ribbing and fisherman’s rib. While fisherman’s rib may resemble brioche, it's significantly easier to master. This makes the sweater accessible to those who might be intimidated by more complex techniques. The pattern is available in nine sizes, accommodating bust circumferences ranging from 30.5 to 62.5 inches (76 to 156 cm). It is designed to be worn with a positive ease of 2-4 inches (5-10 cm), allowing you to choose a size that fits your personal style and comfort.
Comfort Meets Style: The Perfect Fall Sweater
This pullover’s close fit, complemented by raglan sleeves, makes it a versatile addition to any wardrobe. It’s an ideal choice for autumn, providing warmth without sacrificing style. The textured look of this sweater reminds me of my favorite knit tops, and I’m excited to add it to my collection. I’ve already purchased the pattern and can't wait to start knitting once I clear some space in my schedule.
Exploring Options: Ravelry and Beyond
If you’re interested in crafting this sweater yourself, you can find the pattern on Ravelry. It’s worth exploring the projects gallery while you’re there. You'll discover how this beautiful design looks in various colors and on different body types, which can inspire you to experiment beyond the iconic yellow. The gallery is filled with gorgeous options that showcase the versatility of the design, ensuring you’ll find something that resonates with your personal taste.
Getting Started with Fisherman’s Rib
For those new to fisherman’s rib, fear not—it's quite straightforward! If you're looking to practice this technique before tackling the pullover, I recommend starting with a fisherman’s rib scarf. This project, worked on larger needles, is a quick knit that will help you become familiar with the technique. It’s a great way to build your confidence and refine your skills before diving into the more intricate details of the sweater.
Conclusion: A Cozy Knit Inspired by a Captivating Show
Only Murders in the Building has proven to be more than just a captivating murder mystery; it has also introduced a fresh wave of inspiration for knitters. The charming knitwear, particularly Mabel's striking yellow pullover, showcases how fashion can be both functional and stylish. As we embrace the cooler months, this sweater promises to be a beloved staple, whether worn while binge-watching your favorite series or enjoying a cozy evening with friends. So grab your yarn, pick your colors, and start knitting your own version of this delightful design. Happy knitting!
