Spring has sprung!
Sunny days, rainy days, hail days - typical spring weather. As much as I love seeing the sun and blue skies, however, there is something about spring that saddens me - am I the only one that feels this way? I hate to see sweater weather end.
I love sweaters. I am a sweater weather kinda gal! I love snuggling into them, I love getting warm by them, and I love making them. And now that warm weather is here, we have to say goodbye to our dearly beloved sweater wearing days. I am not usually too keen to work on sweaters during warm months, but in one way it IS a good time to work on them so by the time cool weather arrives, a new sweater might be ready to wear!
So in honor of our dearly departed sweater weather, here are some sweater patterns I found when I couldn’t help myself and had to see what was out there:
I love the cable details on this pullover La Dijonnaise by Nora Bea. It sells on Ravelry for about $10.60. It calls for sport weight yarn - I think Queensland United or Yarnalia Marvel would be great!
This cardigan is an allover garter stitch with a bit of brioche detail at the raglan seam - Dijon Foret by Carol Sunday. It’s about $8.50 on Ravelry and uses worsted weight yarn. I would love to see Cascade Cantata used for this but Malabrigo Rios would be lovely as would Universal Yarn’s Deluxe Worsted.
I love colorwork sweaters and this one looks so fun to do - Moon of My Life by Nadia Cretin-Lechenne and it’s for FREE on Ravelry. It is a pullover knit in fingering weight yarn. I could see it knit up in Malabrigo Ultimate Sock or Cascade Heritage. Kathmandu fingering would be amazing and so would Juniper Moon’s Herriot Fine.
One more! And then I’m done. Promise!
So goodbye sweater weather - catch you on the other side of summer. Maybe I’ll greet you with a newly knit sweater!
