Whimsy Fancy is a sweater designed to bring a little joy to your everyday wardrobe. With its eye-catching yoke of bubbly textures and playful colour combinations, it balances sweet whimsy with timeless style. Inspired by vintage fabric with carefree use of colours, this top-down circular yoke sweater is a dream to knit, pairing your favourite main colour with mini skeins or a delightful mix of leftover yarns.

The sample sweater features mini skeins from the ParkourKitties Kebaya 2025 Collection, a special set created to celebrate Singapore’s 60th birthday this year. The colourways in this limited-edition set are inspired by the vibrant hues of the kebaya, a traditional garment worn by women across Southeast Asia.

This collaboration with ParkourKitties has been such a fun and meaningful project for us, especially since we're both Singaporeans. If you’ve purchased the mini skein set, I hope you’ll enjoy using it for your version of Whimsy Fancy. But of course, this design works beautifully with any of your treasured mini skeins or yarn leftovers!

WHIMSY FANCY pattern is available in my pattern store here and on Ravelry.
