about the book
Mollie has her heart set on the perfect sweater—it has all the colours of the rainbow, a heart, and even a bunny. She just has to have it! But when Grandma knits her one instead, things don’t go quite as planned. It’s colorful, it’s one of a kind, and it just might unravel more than Mollie expected.
Is this the worst sweater ever…or the most wonderful one of all?

about the sweater
Only $4.00
Heart & Bunny Duplicate Stitch Appliqué. Base sweater pattern not included.
When I wrote “It's Scratchy, It's Catchy, and I Just Don't Like It”, I never imagined there would one day be a knitting pattern inspired by Mollie's sweater. The sweater was simply part of the story. But after sharing it at book signings and fibre events, so many knitters asked if the pattern would be available.
Thanks to the incredible support of the fibre community and the beautiful chart designed by Andrea Lampman, that idea has now become a reality.
Whether you're knitting this sweater for yourself, a child, a grandchild, or someone special, I hope it brings as much joy to you as it has to me. Most of all, I hope it reminds you that handmade truly means made with love.
Happy knitting!
