    Blossom sweater kit | all sizes, one price

    This is your perfect sweater kit for knitting a Blossom sweater.

    It has everything you need to knit Blossom in any size and with all the hand-holding you might like.

    Your kit includes:

    • PDF pattern for all 10 sizes and with 5 companion video tutorials
    • 6 skeins of hand-dyed Targhee Worsted yarn, which is enough to knit any size, with either 3/4 sleeves or full length sleeves, to include bust darts or not, or to add on a high-low hem for sizes up to 56 inches (140 cm)
    • A perfect notions bundle with my favorite, handmade beaded ring stitch markers and bright electric green try-it-on cording
    • You Are Loved label to sew inside your sweater
    • 1 month of 1:1 knitting help desk time with me
    • My Blossom hat pattern, in case you have yarn left over, so you have a perfect add-on project, ready-to-go

    If you want to lengthen your sweater from a mid-hip length, or if you are size 9 or 10 and want to knit a high-low hem, just add one matching skein to your cart.

    This kit is not just yarn, it's everything you need including help and support.

    I don't just want you to stash this kit; I want you make yourself a Blossom sweater. You're going to love it.

     

    Sizes & options included

    The Blossom pattern has 10 sizes to fit people with bust/chest circumferences anywhere from 28 inches to 66 inches (70 to 165 cm).

    The kit includes 6 skeins of yarn, which is enough to knit any of the 10 sizes with either 3/4 length sleeves or bracelet length sleeves at the standard body length with a straight hem.

    If you want to lengthen the body or knit a high-low hem at sizes 9 or 10, you should add one extra skein to your cart.

    Skill level

    Blossom is an achievable project for knitters who have never knit a sweater before, as well as knitters who have knit many sweaters.

    The pattern has lots of milestones such as stitch counts, measurements, illustrations and tips noted along the way to help you check your progress, plus 5 video tutorials to demonstrate any techniques that may be new to you.

    The pattern has:

    • Increases and decreases
    • German short rows
    • Cables or optional ribbing detail if cables feel daunting
    Why I offer all sizes-one price kits

    It might seem a bit unusual for a kit to include yarn for all sizes, but here's why I do it this way:

    • It can be incredibly helpful to have an extra skein (or two) of well-matched yarn in a sweater project.
    • It lets you knit a larger size than you might have originally intended, or make modifications, without playing yarn chicken.
    • It centers the experience and needs of the largest bodies in our community in a way that's helpful for everyone.
    • If you have yarn left over, you can knit a matching accessory (like a hat or cowl).

    Included: a month of my knitting help desk

    You'll get one month of my Nourishing Things membership, starting when your kit ships. You'll be able to schedule 1:1 time during my monthly office hours (in 10 minute blocks) to help you do things like:

    • Choose a size
    • Talk about alternating skeins
    • Work through anything you find tricky

    It's a bit of extra hand-holding and encouragement, here if you need it.
