  • 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!

  • The Millie Crop Vest Design

    The Millie Crop Vest Design

    Happy November! The season of the chunky knits is going strong. I love it. I love having a new piece in a few days time. I love having more time for all the things I love. This time of year gets busy and chaotic, but it really is also filled with so much sparkle and magic.

    Speaking of sparkle, I am really having this glittery moment. My last design, the glitter era pullover (speaks for itself) and now this one. This started out to be a very simple, basic design. After I took all of the photos for the pattern, I was looking back at them and just couldn’t find the “ah I’m so excited!” moment that I look for.

    So I looked at it for a bit and figured it could do with some color across the front. That turned out to be the perfect idea. I had some extra sparkly tinsel yarn leftover from years ago, and wound that around some scrap of “the wool” from We Are Knitters, and there it was born. It got the color and the sparkle. I love it.

    This is, again, an easy pattern. Beginners can do it! You’re only going to be working with some 1×1 twisted ribbing and stockinette stitch. A little bit of picking up stitches, a little bit of half duplicate stitch (I actually don’t know if that’s even a thing, but it’s literally what I did for the front) and that’s it!

    Make it your own! You can leave it a solid color, work stripes into it, do stripes and the half duplicate stitch, whatever your heart desires. You got this! Have fun with it!
