  • Free Pattern | Winter Magic Sweater Christmas ornament

    Free Pattern | Winter Magic Sweater Christmas ornament

    Christmas is coming up so quickly and if you’re looking for last minute gift ideas for cheap, I’ve got a little free pattern for you guys! A few years ago I designed my winter magic sweater with “the wool” from We Are Knitters in the color called yarnicorn. To this day, that yarn still makes me feel all kinds of happy.

    I have quite a bit of leftover yarnicorn cotton and figured that would be perfect for a sweater ornament. Then when I was trying to think of what kind of sweater to make, the winter magic pattern seemed perfect. And so was born a little teeny tiny cute Christmas tree ornament.

    This sweater ornament will take you barely any time at all to knit up. I was thinking that maybe I’ll just go into designing tiny clothes haha. I loved finishing a sweater in such little time! And they really are the perfect little gifts. Find some pretty sparkly beads to match whatever yarn you choose and you’ll have a gorgeous gift that anyone will love to receive.

    You’re going to need just one skein of We Are Knitters “the cotton” or similar dk/worsted weight yarn. You’ll need very little of the yarn. One skein will make you quite a few ornaments! I used 5mm or US size 8 straight knitting needles and then all that’s left is a darning needle, beads, and beading wire. Also scissors of course.

  • The Love Big Hooded Sweater Design

    The Love Big Hooded Sweater Design

    Say hello to the love big hooded sweater! This big, warm, valentines inspired hoodie is a hybrid of my winter blues pullover and the max hooded cardigan. It’s not too long in length, but not short either. It hits at a level that’s perfect for easy wearability!

    I wanted to do something different for detail on this one and went with a mesh stitch to create a heart on the front. It actually took me two tries to get it right, I was having the hardest time trying to do the maths on this! I was so excited when I got it! I am not a math person.

    Per most of my chunky knit designs, this sweater is an easy and quickish knit. I used 15mm needles for the ribbing, then my lovely 25mm needles for the remainder of it. You’ll have a new sweater in just a few days, or hours if you’re ambitious!

    I made little hearts at the end of each sleeve using the duplicate stitch method. Super easy and quick. If you’ve never worked duplicate stitch, this will be the perfect chance to try it out as it’s just a small detail.

    Skill level for this design is easy or beginner. You’ll need to know how to do the longtail cast on, twisted ribbing, stockinette stitch, picking up stitches, increase stitch, and seaming. I promise you’ll have no problem doing it!
