  • Starlight Pullover Design

    Starlight Pullover Design

    If there’s one yarn that you can never, ever, eeevvver go wrong with, it is the yarnicorn wool from we are knitters. This yarn is freaking gorgeous. From the ordering it to the opening the package to the looking at the yarn to the feeling it’s soft fluffiness and then to the knitting it. You just truly won’t even want to stop looking at it and you’ll love everytime you get to sit down for a knit sesh with it and then when you get to wear your finished piece.

    The Starlight pullover was designed from a need for a basic pullover with a collared neck that could really be worn with anything. I also needed a quick satisfying project to get a little dopamine hit, and this def hit that.

    Materials Needed

    5 Skeins We Are Knitters “the wool” or similar super chunky weight yarn, roughly 435 yards (this particular color is called yarnicorn)

    Sizes 15mm (US 17) and 25mm (US 50) straight knitting needles

    Darning needle for seaming 

    Skills Needed

    Longtail cast on method, 2×2 twisted ribbing, stockinette stitch, bind off, picking up stitches, seaming

  • 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!
