Description

The Vanilla’s Big Sister Sweater by Corinne Tomlinson is everything knitters have come to love with the Vanilla Sweater, but now at a bigger gauge with far fewer stitches and a squishy, wearable fabric. It’s a great knit for new and first-time garment makers, especially with our Video Companion Course, while also a refreshing knit for seasoned knitters seeking the ultimate potato-chippy project.
