It will be a long story — because the Aurum Pullover has been a long journey. ✨
Some designs come together quickly. This one didn’t. Aurum lived in my sketchbook, in swatches, in half-knit yokes, and in my head for months before it finally became the sweater I knew it could be. I tried different motif placements, adjusted proportions, reworked shaping, and knit samples until everything felt balanced: engaging to knit, flattering to wear, and satisfying from the first cast-on to the last stitch.
From the beginning, I imagined this sweater in rich, hand-dyed color. That’s why this release is extra special: the Aurum Pullover was created in collaboration with Malabrigo Yarn. Their yarns are loved all over the world, and designing with those colors in mind was pure joy. The depth and subtle tonal shifts work beautifully with the stranded motifs and textures of this pullover.
That said, you absolutely do not have to use Malabrigo. Use whatever yarn you love and trust. I know knitters from many different countries will cast on with many different yarns and color choices — and honestly, that’s one of the most exciting parts for me. Seeing how the same design transforms through your personal choices is always inspiring.
I wanted a yoke that feels interesting but not overwhelming. Something rhythmic. Something that keeps you engaged without feeling complicated. It might feel a bit tricky at the very beginning while you get into the structure, but once it clicks, the knitting becomes very intuitive and enjoyable.
This sweater was designed to be worn — not just admired. Cozy, comfortable, and versatile enough for everyday life, but with enough detail to make it feel special. The kind of pullover you reach for again and again.
To celebrate the release, the Aurum Pullover pattern will be available at a special introductory price for a limited time. If you’ve been waiting for a new sweater project, this is the best moment to jump in. After the introductory period, the pattern will move to its regular price. Coupon code: aurum20, valid until Febr. 25, midnight EST.

And of course, we won’t be knitting alone. There will be a dedicated Knit-Along group where we can share progress, yarn choices, questions, and finished sweaters. I love seeing how a design travels across the world — different languages, different knitters, different interpretations — all connected by the same pattern.

Special thanks to my wonderful testers for bringing this design to life. Truly. This sweater would not be what it is without you. I’m so grateful for your time, your skill, your honesty, and your enthusiasm. Thank you for trusting my design and for putting so much care into every stitch. 💛
