Ella Sweater
Colors are great, but a good v-neck sweater is a staple in a knitter’s closet. This piece was designed for a friend, Ella, wanting to make her own sweater for the first time - it is extremely versatile, use as many (or as little) colors as you’d like, and have fun!
Skill: Easy Intermediate
This design was created while teaching a friend, Ella, how to knit her own personalized sweater design. If you are interested in doing this, sign up for the Knitting Concierge Membership - a month of unlimited knitting support.
