Yes, I made my first crochet sweater… for Christmas… in September. In this video I’m walking you through my “cozy Christmas in September” review of the Christmas Lights Sweater from Hobbii, and I’m sharing all the particulars of what it was like to tackle a full garment in crochet for the first time. I show off the finished sweater (it’s genuinely adorable) and talk through the big decisions—like picking yarn and getting the vibe right so it feels festive without being unwearable. I also share the little things I learned along the way: what slowed me down, what I’d do differently next time, and how I approached finishing so it looks polished instead of “first sweater energy.” If you’ve been eyeing a holiday make, this is one of those projects you can start now and actually have ready in time. And yes—stay to the end because I share my absolutely essential tip that will save you a lot of frustration if you’re making this (or honestly, any crochet sweater).
