  • Glitter Era Pullover Sweater Design

    Glitter Era Pullover Sweater Design

    First off, I have to say that this yarn is a serious splurge. I love Knit Collage yarn with a passion, but it’s not very cost friendly. I don’t purchase it too often, it’s a treat! So if you’re not wanting to spend much to make this sweater, I suggest using any chunky weight yarn! You don’t have to use the same as I did, but it is incredibly gorgeous and if you want a one of a kind, do it.

    The yarn I used is called Spuncloud. It’s a super soft wool that has a light strand of tinsel woven through it to give it a little sparkle. I love anything glittery or sparkly, so this just gets me.

    This sweater uses 5 skeins of the Spuncloud yarn and is knit on size 15mm (US 19) straight knitting needles. You’ll also need a darning needle for seaming.

    This sweater is super chunky and cozy. It can be worn off the shoulders, off one shoulder, or pulled forward or back for a scoop neck or scoop back.

    You’ll just need basic knitting skills for this sweater along with picking up stitches for the neckline.

    Fall is officially upon us. Time for all the pumpkin coffees, pumpkin patches, walks through the fall leaves, apple orchards, gorgeous weather, the yummy baking, and last but not least, the cozy knitwear. The scarves, the sweaters, the cardigans, the blankets, the hats, it’s all so good. We knitters love nothing more than a fabulous knit session, cozying up with a coffee and treat, and in my case wearing my favorite hoodie and sweats, and knitting to the hearts content.

    I was perusing my yarn stock a couple weeks ago and found this gorgeous “Lil Heal the Wool” from Wool and the Gang. I actually bought this a few years ago and was a little disappointed in the color at the time. Now, I’m head over heels in love with it and had to put it to use.

    I only had three skeins, which wouldn’t have been enough for a sweater. Then with the texture of it as well, a scarf would really be the best viable option. Its not a super soft yarn, much more an accessory yarn. It’s much much warmer than I thought it would be. During the photo shoot, I had to take it off multiple times due to it getting so warm! So the open stitch was a good option for it. It gives it a delicate feminine look, while also keeping you nice and toasty!

    This is a fun one to knit if you’re wanting to work more on your stitches while not knitting something too difficult. And if you’re a pro, just have fun!

    Happy weekend to you all!

    After a bit of trial and error, I have the final design to show you! I was really debating between adding a graphic on the front or sequins. However, those both just seemed too tedious and time consuming for this point in the summer.

    I wanted the neckline to have something extra though, so I decided to add another round of ribbing to the neckline, making it a different color and a little longer.

    I really love the way it looks. It was easy enough to do, and in my opinion, gave it that extra edge I was looking for, figuratively and literally.

    The peachy sunsets tee is the perfect heading into fall knit wardrobe essential. Its knit holding two strands of We Are Knitters the cotton together at once, giving it a heavier drape and warmth. But still not too warm! I think it would also be super adorable layered over a long sleeve top.

    The colors I used for this were Yarnicorn and salmon pink for the entire body and first neckline. The second neckline is yarnicorn and aquamarine, which is such a gorgeous blue!

    This pattern is suitable for all levels of knitters! It uses basic stitches and techniques, perfect sized knitting needles (8mm which is a US 11), and knits up fairly quickly. If I had unlimited knitting time, I have a few other colors I’d love to make it in!
