making the viral pippi sweater - knitting what my instagram algorithm feeds me for a cozy winter

I loved making this sweater and this video is a record of my month-long struggle with making it! this is my first time ever attempting colorwork and while I absolutely hated it, I love the result.

This pattern is the Pippi Pullover by Kiss Kiss Rhinestones (aka Lea), who was kind enough to make the whole thing FREE!

I made a few adjustments including shortening the length of the sweater by reducing rounds I made in the white color and making two decreases every eight rows on the sleeves. The materials I used in the video include:

- Needles -- Chiagoo 4.0mm knitting needles
- Yarn -- 12 balls of Drops Alaska in Wheat and 2 balls each of Drops Alaska in Dark Red and Midnight Blue
- Random stitch markers from Amazon lol

NOTE: please gauge if you're going to make this sweater--I almost made this 2x too big if I had just gone in with 5.0mm needles like in the pattern.
