Between Christmas and New Year… and a new project begins ✨
Hello again—right in that strange, quiet time after Christmas and just before New Year’s Eve, when days blur together and nobody really knows what time it is anymore.
Somewhere in that in-between space, I’ve started a new project: a simple sweater for myself. I’ll share more photos and progress soon, but today I just wanted to show the stitch combination I’m using.
The stitch (simple, but very satisfying)
I’ve completely fallen for this motif.
It’s easy to crochet, flows nicely, and creates a texture that looks much more complicated than it actually is—which, let’s be honest, is always a win. I can already tell it would work beautifully for scarves, shawls, or even throws.
This might be one of those patterns I come back to again and again.
The yarn (yes, I have a favourite now)
For this project, I’m using Himalaya Everyday Rengarenk acrylic yarn. I bought four 100g balls, which should be enough to finish the sweater.
I say “should” with cautious optimism.
I’ve recently developed a bit of an obsession with Himalaya yarns. They come in these really beautiful melange colours, they’re soft, slightly shiny, and very pleasant to work with.
The only downside? It can be surprisingly hard to find more of the exact same shade once you run out… which is how unfinished projects are born.
So for now, this is just the beginning.
A simple sweater, a stitch I really enjoy, and (hopefully) enough yarn to see it through to the end.
We’ll see how optimistic that assumption turns out to be ✨
