Goldenrod Sweater by Linda Skuja is a beautifully textured crochet sweater with a relaxed, cosy shape and striking all-over stitch detail. The design features bold vertical texture (puff stitches) throughout the yoke, giving the finished piece depth, warmth and a lovely sense of movement.
This kit uses our Sportlicious yarn base, a soft and smooth sport / 5ply yarn made from 100% extrafine superwash merino. Sportlicious has beautiful stitch definition, making it a lovely choice for Goldenrod and its rich crochet texture.
Why we love it
Goldenrod is one of those crochet garments that feels both interesting to make and easy to wear. The textured stitch pattern is the feature, creating a sweater with plenty of detail while still keeping the overall shape relaxed and wearable. Worked in Sportlicious, it has softness, warmth and definition, making it a beautiful project for tonal, lightly speckled and semi-solid colourways.
