Description

Following in the footsteps of the Vanilla Sweater, our communitys favorite wardrobe staple, the Big Sister Sweater keeps everything you love about the original but turns up the cozy and the charm. Designed by Corinne Tomlinson and inspired by Renee, this brand-new design is already making waves (as seen on the podcast!) and is destined to be your next go-to knit.

With a larger gauge for a faster finish, Big Sister delivers all the warmth and comfort of the Vanilla Sweater, plus a fresh twist: a luxurious blend of wool and mohair that feels as dreamy as it looks. Its the kind of sweater that practically flies off your needles and one youll reach for again and again once its off the blocking mats.

Big Sister is agreat choice for beginner knitters ready to knit their first sweater, and for experienced knitters ready for a fast and fun palette cleanser!

Harrisville Designs Highland yarn held with Rauma Plum is such a cozy choice for this design. Corinne knit a Big Sister in the Mustard colorway which is cheerful and bold, cozy and warm. Highland is 100% Virgin Wool and, when held with Rauma Plum mohair, it creates a beautiful fabric that is a bit heavier than the Rauma Fivel or the Manchelopis for the Big Sister.
