I didn’t really want to jump on the trend of this pattern, but I did…and there is a reason it is sooooooo popular. Faster sweater ever. It simply flew off my needles, and was so much fun. Then I just had to do a repeat. Have another planned for this winter too.
First version shown is knitted in Cotton Pure by Purl Soho.





Second is in a lovely superwash merino hand-dyed sock weight yarn by Oak & Fiber.







These sweaters never fail to get compliments and are a pleasure to wear. If you have wondered about what all the fuss is about over this pattern, just let me say it’s worth the hype. A fast, fun knit…and I am not a fast knitter typically. But these flew right off the needles.
