Balete Cardigan

Welcome to The Velvet Acorn, your ultimate destination for purely original knitting and crochet pattern designs. Every piece is inspired by my deep love of nature and the great outdoors, ensuring that each creation carries a unique essence. My commitment is to craft patterns that prioritize comfort, warmth, and versatility, resulting in timeless pieces that layer beautifully and complement any wardrobe. As I design, I meticulously focus on the details, aiming to make every pattern unique and infused with personality—each design tells its own story, filled with love and creativity.

**Sweater Sizes and Fit:** Each sweater is designed with a positive ease of approximately 1 to 3 inches, offering a comfortable and relaxed fit. The circumference is measured with the sweater flat on a table at the chest after blocking for accuracy. In the sample image, the size 5/6 sweater is modeled on a 5-year-old child, showcasing 2.5 inches of positive ease for added comfort and style.

The sample was beautifully crafted using Barnyard Knits worsted yarn in the enchanting color, Sweet Juliet. If you're looking for an alternative, I've highlighted a suggested substitute yarn below for your convenience.
