Here at KnitLeaks, we're all makers and deeply love and value yarn! That's why we’re always on the lookout for projects where we can use all the yarn leftovers and those minis or skeins that we couldn't resist buying at a festival or promotion and are patiently awaiting in our stash to be used.
That's why we were so happy when we found the Sea Glass by Wool and Pine. We’re aware that it was first published in May 2021, but it is a classic of all times.
This top-down, seamless sweater is an intelligent design that was created not only aiming to bust the scraps in our stash but also to boost our creativity. According to the designer, “…Sea Glass is all about embracing the pursuit of art over perfection.”
Moreover, we can use all yarn weights! The instructions provide tips like combining the DK yarn with two fingering weight yarns or single strands of Sport or Worsted. As long as we reach the gauge, we are free to improvise. In the end, each sweater will be one-of-a-kind!
Despite having so many color and yarn changes, we don't have to worry about weaving ends because it suggests using the Magic Knot technique. Don't fret; there is a tutorial.
This pattern is for everyone. It offers photo and video tutorials and is size-inclusive, with 12 sizes ranging from 84 cm to 173 cm of bust circumference. You can choose between long sleeves—Sea Glass Sweater—and short sleeves—Sea Glass Tee. You can even make a Sea Glass Mini version for children ages six months to 12 years. But the coolest part is that this pattern has a knitted and a crocheted version—Crochet Sea Glass.
Between all these options, this pattern has already reached more than 46 thousand Ravelry likes and almost 1500 finished projects.
One last thing: if you sign up for the Wool and Pine newsletter, you get the Sea Glass Hat free pattern.
