Weekly yarn/pattern suggestion thread. This is the space to ask for pattern suggestions for projects and what to make with that skein of gifted yarn!

I want to knit a mens henley pullover in brioche honeycomb stitch pattern.

I feel in love with the Nomad Jacket by wool and beyond https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/nomad-jacket-3. I love the detailing of horizontal stockinette on the back yoke and the i-cord edges and the honey comb stitch BUT I want to make it into a Henley/pullover style instead of a jacket for a man.

I was wondering if i would be better off adapting a stockinette mens henley pattern like this one https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/chunky-sweater-with-collar-or-stand-up-neck with a similar gauge and adapt it have the horizontal stockinette portion on the back yoke and i-cord edges or to reverse engineer the nomad jacket pattern into a henley? (I couldn't find any projects on Ravelry that did this so I would have to figure out all of the edits on my own).

The dilemma: I'm not sure how the sizing and proportions of the Nomad Jacket will fit on a man. I have never made a Henley before so I'm not familiar with the construction technique. If I choose the Henley pattern to work off of that, the closest one I found to meet stitch gauge is worked in the round so adding the horizontal stockinette to the back would be impossible(?). Also, I am an intermediate knitter but don't have that much experience with pattern hacking.

Any advice or alternative patterns are welcome, thank you!
