Happy knitting! xo Annie
For this sweater I wanted a cozy, quick knit that could be an everyday sweater. I loved the first version I knit SO MUCH that I decided to knit another, and another…..the options of holding different yarn weights either single, double or triple provide a unique opportunity to play around with yarns of different weights and colors!
Yarn
YOTH Father, Aran Weight Yarn 100% Rambouillet Wool, 220 yards/100g, Shown above in Black Mission Fig
740 ( 820, 890, 1020) (1100, 1200, 1280) 1400 yards
OR
Sugar Plum Circus BFL DK 246 yards/100g, approximately 740 ( 820, 890, 1020) (1100, 1200, 1280) 1400 yards
Sugar Plum Circus Mohair Lace 459 yards/50g, approximately 740 (820, 890, 1020) (1100, 1200, 1280) 1400 yards
Note: for this version yarn is held double, so you will need the estimated yardage of EACH yarn.
OR
Fingering Weight Held Triple
Approximately 2100 (2400, 2700, 3000) (3240, 3540, 3780) 4320 yards
This version is a GREAT Stash Buster, so if you have leftover balls you can approximate by weight: 535 (610, 685, 760) (820, 895, 950) 1090 grams
A note on Marling the colors and fading…..
This was my first time doing it this way, but I found that even though you’re only knitting with 3 strands at once, I liked the way the colors blended best when I had 4 or even 5 balls of yarn attached to the sweater, and each round I would swap out a strand, gradually incorporating the next color I wanted to blend to….
