Hi everyone! It’s Shannon, also known as @shannoncreates_ ! I am back again on the blog sharing another pattern using The Hook Nook’s amazing yarn! Where I am from the snow is officially here and the cold temperatures have settled so what would be better than a cozy sweater!
Introducing Anastasia! Anastasia is the perfect cozy, cold weather sweater that uses two colors of “Yummy”to create a unique split color sweater! This pattern can be customized to your liking as it includes instructions on how to create a longer sweater or turtleneck if you wish. The sweater works up quickly and once sewn together I guarantee it will become a staple in your winter wardrobe!
