(Yes, that is the Christmas tree in the first photo. What?)
Yarn: Louet Gems Topaz, 100% superwash merino worsted, 5 or 6 skeins of each color.
Needles: Knit Picks Options and Harmony circs, US#7.
Pattern: My design, based on the fundamentals of the kimono sweaters in Kimono Knitting by Vicki Square. Easy-peasy, no fitting, everything is a rectangle. I made the sleeves have snug cuffs because standard kimono sleeves would have defeated the idea of a warm sweater — drafts, people!
Progress photos at my Ravelry page.
The Louet Topaz is a nice enough yarn, rather loosely plied and therefore prone to splitting. I suspect it will pill, too, since it is so soft. But the sweater is done and comfortable and warm and I am happy.

Kudos!
Yay! Looks great and cozy, too.
Great sweater!
Love, love, love it!!!! Certainly worth the wait. And it gives me that nice, Christmas-y feeling, too!
I kind of love that the tree is still up.
Ooooohhhhh it looks terrific!
(tree? what tree?)
Loverly! And it looks soooo cozy!
Bravo you! Looks great. š
Great job! It looks like it fits you well. And that shawl pin looks like a nice defensive weapon.
Of course, we’re thinking “Oh, look! She decorates her houseplants.” Srsly. Not a Christmas tree at all.
Wonderful warm cuddly sweater. And that shawl pin is fabulous.
Looks warm and cozy enough to keep you warm during our snow event. š
Looks like a great sweater.
I really, really like it! It looks so cozy and warm. Perfect for . . . more winter! (All of my best sweaters pill. Oh well.)
Woo Hoo!
Well done!
Plus those cuffs get in your food
