The Woolly Thistle

The Vanilla Sweater
Our Vanilla Sweater has been our best selling kit and a favorite knit amongst our community. Knitters that are new to garment knitting find it to be a delightful introduction to making a sweater, while experienced knitters have said it is a delightful between-project palette cleanser. It's so popular because it's quick to knit and eminently wearable.
