The combination of Rauma Finullgarn and Rauma Plum creates a beautiful and soft fabric for this raglan sweater that looks great on every body type! Knit top-down and in the round, this pattern, along with our Vanilla Sweater, is a great choice for both new and experienced knitters.

The Vanilla Sweater Kit is one of our most popular products and we are delighted to bring you Vanilla Fluff which is a fluffy spin on this tried and true sweater style. This new pattern has been reworked to account for the addition of mohair and a new gauge. This sweater, like the Vanilla Sweater, has drape and movement in the knit fabric making it cozy and easy to wear. It also has slightly narrower full length sleeves.
You can find the Knit the Vanilla Sweater Course here, a collection of video tutorials which will guide you through each step of your Vanilla Sweater or Vanilla Fluff journey.

It is a fairly easy pattern with very nice yarn. I selected a holiday green. I don’t want to put the project down! I finished the Vanilla sweater and decided to make the Fluff!

Beautiful yarn!
When I received this yarn, I was so happy with the color. It is exactly what I wanted. I also love how it feels. I love wooly Wool!
I haven’t started this project yet, but it’s next in my cue!
