Purplish dream sweater is an easy constructed pattern, ideal for first garment make, it’s worked in four pieces and then all parts seamed together, the front design with all the yarn overs and bobbles are just adorable, adding to all that the softness and squishiness of the yarn which makes it so cozy and comfortable. This project worked in collaboration with www.hobiumyarns.com for their ambassador program, you can find Kartopu Melange series and much more yarn choices in their website.
