  • Holiday Cheer Cardigan

    Holiday Cheer Cardigan

    You guys… my favorite time of year is almost here once again. And with that comes a new holiday design. Every year I knit something that’s holiday related and this one falls right in line.

    I used my big needles for this, you all know they’re my absolute favorite. I’m obsessed. It always lets the gorgeous yarn shine through. And this yarn has sparkle, so I absolutely had to. Knit collage’s spun cloud is one of my top favorite yarns for chunky knits.

    I love the texture, the softness, and the colors are so vibrant and gorgeous. The ones I chose for this are Moroccan ruby, olive, cafe au lait, Sedona, and French vanilla. Like I cannot with how pretty they are.

    And one of the funnest parts was adding the little pocket on the front. I loooove it. This was my first time doing a pocket on a sweater and now that I know how it works, I’m definitely going to be trying that out again in the future.

    You’ll need six skeins of spun cloud or any similar super chunky weight yarn, sizes 15mm (US 19) and 25mm (US 50) knitting needles, and a darning needle for seaming and weaving the ends. This is a fairly easy pattern and something anyone can do!

    I used Sandnes Garn Poppy in the color called tutti frutti. It. is. gorgeous. There are no words for how much I enjoyed knitting with this yarn. And they have many colors of it, so that’s a plus! But I recommend the tutti frutti because it looks like a funfetti cupcake and will make you happy ❤️.
