Daytripper Cardigan
Quick to make, full of color, this is a lightweight sweater because it’s knitted on US size 10 (6 mm) needles. This Cardigan can be knit up in a matter of days. Buttoned or buttonless, the choice is yours!
You'll need 8 colors of Léttlopi yarn, 6-9 balls A color, 2-3 balls B color and 1 ball each of six colors.
It includes a steek for the front opening, which is such a great new technique to try if you haven’t had the chance. See you in a few days in your new cardi!
Destination Pullover
Pockets! A sweet touch on this simple, cozy sweater.
You'll need 3 colors of Léttlopi yarn, 3-5 balls A color, 3-5 balls B color and 4-6 balls C color.
Blocks of color are connected by brief moments of stranded colorwork. Knit on a size US 10 (6 mm) needle, the Léttlopi yarn becomes a fabric that is lofty and light—just the thing for a cool day.
Destination Scarf
A design that lets colors shift as quietly or dramatically as you like.
You'll need 1 ball each of Léttlopi yarn in 5 or more colors.
Mix your colors and choose among the five stitch motifs to cook up your own unique fluffer.
Jaunty Beanie
This is serious multiples territory. A hat that lets you fool around with your color pairings and stranded color pattern? You’ll finish one and already be scheming up the next one.
You'll need 1 ball each of Léttlopi yarn in 2 or more colors.
The pom pom is just the cherry on top and the way to use up all those oddments.
Trinket Mittens
These mittens are a traditional style that Mary Jane discovered years ago during her time in Sweden.
You'll need 1 ball each of Léttlopi yarn in 2 or more colors.
Choose your cuff motif from the five motifs included in the Field Guide.
