The Pattern

The Briar Rose Pullover is an intermediate knit pattern. The pullover itself is a fitted sweater with very little or no ease. Lion Brand's Color Made Easy, which is a bulky weight category 5 yarn, was used to work up this sweater. Unfortunately, Lion Brand has discontinued this yarn. At the end of this post, you can explore some of the other yarns my testers have used for knitting up the Briar Rose Pullover.

This design is knitted bottom-up and displays a beautiful knotted cable on the left and right of the front panel. Sleeves are also knitted bottom-up and are designed to be set-in sleeves. Front and back panels, as well as sleeves, are seamed together and stitches are picked up for the collar.

Final bust sizes include: 32(35, 39, 43, 47, 51, 54).

Design Story

This simple yet elegant pullover was designed specifically for my mother who requested a pullover for Christmas... from two Christmases ago. 😅 I finally got around to designing this piece for her and she is loving it very much. She wears it quite often as the yarn has been keeping her nice and warm through 2020/2021's very cold winter.

The Briar Rose Pullover is my first knit pullover design. Since this sweater was designed for my mother, I wanted to design something that was a little more than just something simple. I added the knotted cable to add a simple touch to a plain pullover.

Cheese in the Trap Cardi Knit Pattern

What comes to mind when you think of cheese? Maybe swiss cheese? Inspired by the Korean drama, movie, and webtoon, I present to you the Cheese in the Trap Cardi. This cheesy, cozy, fitted knit cardigan is the perfect garment in cool fall weather.

The Pattern

The Cheese in the Trap Cardi is a fitted cardigan worked bottom-up with set-in sleeves with 2 strands held together. The yarn used was Yarn Bee 44th Street in Mustard. Roughly 2,000 yards of yarn are needed to complete the only size offered at the moment. The yarn is considered a category 3 (DK) but is a thinner DK weight yarn and can be found at Hobby Lobby.


The Cheese in the Trap Cardi is only offered in size XS/S. Unfortunately, I was unable to figure out the math for this particular design specifically because of the front panels. I am hoping to figure out the grading for this irresistible cardigan next spring. Stay tuned!

Design Story

I was inspired to design this cardigan after watching both the Korean drama and movie of the webtoon, Cheese in the Trap. I had originally thought of making this cardigan a plain yellow garment but another big-time blogger came out with something similar. To not become a "copy-cat", I decided to design my cardigan more fitting to the name I decided to give it. 

When I think of cheese, Swiss cheese always comes to mind which happens to be one of my favorite cheeses. (Brie cheese comes in first place in my heart though.) To represent that holey Swiss cheese, I used the beautiful diamond lace stitch to complete the look.

A lot of time was spent calculating out this detailed garment and I am truly pleased with the way it came out.

The Cheese in the Trap Cardi was a fun design to create and also my favorite out of all the garments that I have designed thus far. Because of this, it makes me sad that I am not able to have this pattern size inclusive. (One day, it will. I promise.)
