I will be knitting a new sweater with the advent I received this year on my YouTube Channel 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.

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).

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.
