- 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.

Fun fact this sweater is based on a swedish story called Pippi Långstrump or Pippi Longstocking and its by Astrid Lindgren. As a swedish person i grew up watching the tv series and movies so it gives nostalgia. I also think i owned one of these sweaters as a kid :>
oh that's so cool! I used to watch the american cartoon version when I was a kid so this was such a throwback!
In Spanish it was translated as "Pippi Calzaslargas" but I definitely knew her swedish name since it was kept in the song 🥰
Had several of these sweaters growing up. Pippi from Astrid Lindgren inspired a whole generation in Sweden. So this is a classic sweater and was made before any social media were born. So fun to see it make a new viral appearance🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪
so cool! very glad it made its way back onto my social media haha
I just saw an updated pattern was uploaded aa "v2" on ravelry which might help w some of the things I talked abt!
just found your video after i frogged this sweater (still very new to knitting and was a bit ambitious). hopefully i can come back to this when i'm more experienced. thank you for filming!
ofc i'm so happy you found it! this was definitely a sneakily tricky pattern so it def takes some veryyyy careful reading at the beginning sections hahah
thank you for making this! i've been eyeing this pattern for a while now!
you definitely should! there's a few tricky parts but I think it should be easy to figure out!

Hii, thank you for the video. It’s my first time knitting a sweater and I don’t get it how to do the German short row. Please help me, I watched so many videos but it doesn’t help because of the cains. Can you explain it to me?

thank you!

Hii i'm so excited to finally find a video about this pattern as i've started this sweater and i'm stuck at the german short rows step (Work German short rows for 10 rows, each time working 5 sts past your previous turn. That is 5 turns on each side of the back yoke. End on a WS row. You’ve shaped the back!). How do i work 5 sts past the previous turn if i'm supposed to do the "double stitch" before turning the work?? and if i have to do it every 5 sts before, i don't have enough stitches (this 10 rows are only in 40 sts) to do so in 10 rows:( i would really appreciate the help
I think I was also not able to make the full 10 rows--I might have ended at 8 or so because I had the same problem :(
The toilet seat cover 😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣
gotta keep it realll
hello, im really excited to finally make this sweater but i got confused at the german short rows thingy lmao. At the beginning, the stiches got divided into 3 parts, 35-40-35 right? and this step (Work German short rows for 10 rows, each time working 5 sts past your previous turn. That is 5 turns on each side of the back yoke. End on a WS row. You’ve shaped the back!) is only being worked in 40 sts. So is the next step, 4 rows of stockinette will be worked on all parts (35-40-35) instead of 40 only?? Please help mee🫠🫠
I'm also super confused about this ! I assume we only do german short rows to shorten the 40 stiches down by 5 stiches each time and then pick up all of the stichs and do stockinette on 110 stitches ?
Can i have a question like , when im knitting the 19th row which is the last row of the colourwork section , the pattern told me to start increase for the neckhole , so what i have to do now ? ( sorry for my bad english )
It's been a while but I think I just added an extra stitch to each end every other row--not sure if someone has done this more recently!
this is about to be my first sweater project, am I going to regret it LOL
but its free! and I have a ton(!) of fisherman's wool! and I am ambitious
I believe in youuuuu!
It looks so nice, and I like the boxy fit!! I'm just starting off with the sweater. I'm not sure about the lenght though, since I want to make it a bit shorter as well. I'm afraid that 16 rows between the colorwork will make it too short for me though.. How long is the body of your sweater?
Hey! I think 16 rows actually worked really well for me. Unfortunately I went home for Christmas and don't have the sweater on me, but I'm 5'2" and the sweater comes to my hip bone.
I was a bit too conservative (lazy lol) with the bottom ribbing and only did about 4-5cm, but I might go back in and stretch the rib to 8cm, which would make it a good length!
do you do continental or english knitting?
English! I wish I could learn continental but my brain isn't wired that way hahah
