Giveaway: My Favorite Cardigans to Knit

November 24, by Sarah White. 53 Comments

my favorite cardigans to knit giveaway

Congrats to Suzanne!

I’ve never been a fan of knitting cardigans, but all of my big cozy sweaters (that I wear at home on top of other sweaters because I’m just that cold all the time) are cardigans.

So I guess I understand a little when Birgitta Forslund says cardigans are the best things you can have in your closet. She uses her cardi designs as a way to get into a person’s life, to be inspired by what they do and what they’re passionate about, whether that’s farming, playing the violin, writing poetry or playing soccer.

Her book My Favorite Cardigans to Knit features 24 different designs, mostly knit and for women, though there are three projects shown on men and a couple that are crocheted. Each one is inspired by a person’s passion and tried to incorporate that into the style. A dancer gets a bolero, for example, and a vintage loving beach goer gets a bombshell-style slip stitched design.

These projects are a lot of fun and suit a range of people and personalities.

If you’d like a copy of this book, leave a comment on this post before the end of the day Sunday, Nov. 30, and I’ll pick a winner at random.

I’d love to know how you feel on the pullover versus cardigan divide. Have you knit either or both? Which do you prefer, to knit or to wear?

Thanks for visiting, commenting and sharing! Good luck.

    I definitely prefer cardigans – better for layering, no messy hair when you pull them off!
