Princess Girl’s Wrap Pullover from Classic Elite

This cute little girl’s wrap/pullover is made from Classic Elite’s Princess yarn. The pattern is free.

Classic Elite says this about it’s yarn. “Princess is a clever blend of several fibers that includes a bit of cashmere and angora. The strength and durability that the yarn’s round, multi-ply construction brings, makes it great for accessorites that will get a lot of use. But the cashmenre and angora content takes the crisp edge off the yarn – it has a soft halo and gentle drape that develops as you knit with it. It positively blossoms after it’s first hand wash or wet block.”

Sounds yummy doesn’t it. The pattern is free, too, from Classic Elite, here.

Sometimes I feel like knitters get intimidated to try new things because they think they need to start with a big project. Your first time working in the round doesn’t need to be a sock, and your first colorwork doesn’t need to be a sweater, for example. You can find little projects that use the skills you want to learn to build your confidence before you move on to something that requires more time commitment.

This adorable knit bunny, for example.

The colorwork bunny from Knit Picks was designed by Amy Munson and is a kind of bowling pin shaped bunny complete with a knit hat, contrasting inner ears and a little stranded colorwork on its body. Note that the ears are attached the the hat not the bunny, but you could stitch them to the bunny if you’d rather.

It’s worked from the bottom up and also has a tiny pompom tail you can’t see in the picture but it’s a really cute touch. There are a variety of little fair isle patterns to choose from to make the best bunny for you.

The bunny comes out about 8 inches tall (or just over 20 cm) and use several colors to complete the colorwork, depending on the design you choose.

You can purchase the pattern by itself from Knit Picks, or make a kit that includes sport weight yarn in all the colors you need for your creation. There are gray and brown options for the main body of the bunny, but of course if you’re using your own yarn you can make it whatever color you like.

Once you’ve tried colorwork (maybe also working in the round and shaping if those are skills you haven’t used before) in a little project like this you’ll be ready to take on something bigger in no time.
