Warm Regards
A relaxed, oversized sweater worked side to side, designed to turn Advent minis or favorite stash yarns into a beautifully textured garment.
About Warm Regards
Warm Regards is a relaxed, oversized sweater with an unexpected side-to-side construction and six different textured stitch patterns. The front and back are worked in colorful sections, making it a wonderful way to use an Advent set, a collection of minis, or favorite yarns from your stash.
Once the body is complete, the shoulders are picked up and shaped, the front and back are joined, and the sleeves are picked up and knit in the round. The result is a sweater that’s just as much fun to knit as it is to wear—with every new section bringing another little change in color and texture.
