SWEATERS!!! I LOVE SWEATERS!!!🥰❤️
I have always been a sweater kind of gal, even before I learned to knit. I love wrapping myself up in a cozy sweater during cool days. I actually get sad when summer season rolls around because I know the sweaters will be packed away. So you can see why I am so happy that sweater season is back!! 🥳
Naturally, I have been perusing sweater patterns on Ravelry, and my hands are just itching to cast on for one (or two, or maybe even three) 🙄I have so many that are in contention for my next cast-on that I can’t seem to decide which one to start with! Here are some of my favorites:
Changeling by KC Knitting Co is a stunning stranded colorwork cardigan inspired by the ferns of the Pacific Northwest. The pattern sells for $12 on Ravelry and uses fingering weight yarn. Cascade Heritage would be nice for this, as would Malabrigo Sock.
Mama bear pullover by Teti Lutsak is a fun textural sweater that is selling for about $8 on Ravelry. It uses DK weight yarn, and I think Juniper Moon Farm’s Rambouillet would be so nice for this pullover. Malabrigo’s Arroyo would also be nice, but I think a more solid color would be best for this design.
This next one is another pullover, Primrose Sweater by Cheryl Mokhtari. Selling for about $10, it uses a lace weight yarn held double to create a fingering weight yarn. Were I to make this, I would most likely just use a fingering weight yarn, and I am wondering if Lapin by Queensland, with its Angora element would work here. (How I would love to knit up a sweater all in Lapin!)
Jen recently knit a sweater using Yarnalia’s Cloud (and just announced the next sweater-a-long with it), and it is the lightest, most softest sweater I have ever seen. Cloud is a bulky-weight yarn that is made by blowing baby alpaca and merino into a knitted polyamide tube. It is very lightweight and soft as a kitten. So naturally, now I want to knit a sweater using Cloud, though I think I would prefer it as a cardigan. Edgar Cardigan by kolibri by johanna might fit the bill nicely. It sells for about $8.75 on Ravelry. With a Bulky weight yarn this would knit up in an instant.
For my last one, I have a vest. Sophisticated by Hunglish Knitter is FREE on Ravelry. Calling for Worsted weight yarn, I think it would be beautiful in Universal Yarn’s Deluxe Worsted. Ella Rae’s Cozy Alpaca might be a fun one for this, too.
Time to roll up the sleeves and start making one of these beauties! What sweater are you thinking of knitting?
