Quilted Pullover

**I will be knitting a new sweater with the advent I received this year on my [YouTube Channel][1] during Vlogmas. I invite you to join me during the month of December where I will demonstrate the following techniques: - Crochet cast on - my favorite quick seaming - 3 needle bind off - picking up neck stitches - how to finish your bind off in the round so that it is invisible Quilted Pullover started out as a challenge I created for myself to see if I could create a sweater using the beautiful yarn Advent Calendars I have purchased and loved. Each yarn is so beautiful and this design lets each one shine! I was thrilled when this sweater began to take shape, I knew I would love it and am happy I am able to make something I love from the beautiful Advents I will continue to purchase. MATERIALS Yarn: Vida Merino Sock: 75% superwash merino 25% nylon 92 yards per skein (24 skeins) Color used: Farmhouse Christmas Advent Minis Vida Merino Sock: 75% superwash merino 25% nylon 463 yards/100grams Color Used: Farmhouse Christmas Needles (suggested size): US 3 [3.25 mm] in 16” [40 cm] and 24” [60cm] lengths for collar, cuffs and hem. US 4 [3.5 mm] in 16” [40 cm] or 24” [60 cm] lengths. Gauge: 25 sts and 34 rows over 4” [10 cm] after blocking with larger needle. Please take time to block your swatch to ensure you have enough yarn for your project. Notions: Stitch markers, darning needle, barber cords (or scrap yarn) for holding stitches Yardage: Yardage is estimated and may vary depending on yarn used, fiber content of yarn and any modifications to the original pattern (such as texture work or lace). Sizes: This cardigan is designed to be oversized and worn with 10 - 15” of positive ease. 1, 2, 3, 4 Finished circumference at bust: 40 (50, 60, 70)” [102 (127, 152, 178) cm] *NOTE: pattern has been tested for 60” size, I’m almost sure you will have enough yarn in a single advent for the size 70”, but if you fall short use any fingering weight stash yarn to make up the difference.
