Hey, beautiful soul! I hope you are doing sooo sooo well today. I decided to knit a cropped, puffy sleeve version of our Creery sweater pattern and I am in love!

What do you think of my new version? Read on to hear more about it and the changes I made to make this pattern mine.

The original pattern which you can see here has fitted sleeves but I wanted mine slightly puffy. So I just picked up stitches for the sleeves as instructed in the pattern but then just knit straight! No decreasing. When they were nearly long enough, I decreased rapidly over 2 rows, down to the size of my wrist and then worked 1×1 ribbing to finish off the cuffs. So easy.

Creery is for the beginner to adventurous beginner knitter who is ready to knit their very first sweater! Or if you’re more advanced, you can make it too and alter it as you wish.

This pattern tutorial includes a full video course showing you how to knit this sweater from start to finish. So, even if you are a beginner, it’s like I’m right there holding your hand as you go along.

If you’ll notice, I cropped the sweater too to accommodate my shorter torso. It’s also super cute to wear cropped sweaters over dresses!

I just knit the body of the sweater until I thought it was long enough. Then, I tried it on (just use a long enough circular needle as you knit or slip the stitches onto waste yarn). Yep! It was just right. Then, I finished up with some ribbing. Easy peasy!

This top has seriously become a winter, spring and fall wardrobe staple because of how cute it is. I can pair it with jeans, or with a cute skirt for warmer days. I wear it over another shirt on the days that are cooler, and then I stay toasty warm.

Our Buttery Bulky is a boingy, bouncy, comfy, cozy, cuddly, cushy, cloud-like bulky weight yarn! It is made with 100% superwash superfine merino wool and there are 120 yards per 3.5 oz skein. This yarn works up super-duper quick! So you can make a sweater in just a few days!

The sweater I made is worked in our Rose Gold color, and I used 4 skeins to make my version.

Since this sweater is knit in our bulky weight yarn it works up quickly.

Wouldn’t it be a gorgeous gift too? Seriously, this sweater pattern is unisex, and can be easily adapted to fit your special someone.

Download the pattern here (you’ll find the full video course linked within the PDF after download) if you’d love to learn to knit your own first sweater.

We hope you enjoy it! Check out others’ versions here on Ravelry as well.

Have a marvelous day and I’ll talk to you soon. xoxo
