Wonderful! For some time I’ve been looking for a sweater like this one! Thank you very much for sharing!
You’re welcome! I’m glad you found what you were looking for.
A lovely jumper! I would like to make it, please send me the pattern! Thank you!!
Thanks! It should be with you by now – enjoy making it!
Oh, gosh, this is beautiful! I’d love to join in on the fun!
Thanks, Tammy. It’ll be with you soon.
This is a lovely pattern indeed. It might indeed become my first homemade sweater, many thanks!
Oh, I hope it does! Thank you!
Hi, I am only just catching up on my email feeds – am I too late? Amazing jumper, well done!
Hi Deb, no, not too late at all. The pattern is free until the end of the month. It’ll be with you later on today. Thanks!
Love the texture! Really lovely sweater!
Thank you! The pattern should be with you by now.
Reminds me of one of the first sweaters I made in the 80’s. It has that retro feel and I have the perfect yarn for it!
It is quite 80s, isn’t it? I’m glad you’ve got the perfect yarn already – enjoy!
Thanks, and you’re welcome. You should have it by now.
Thanks! I hope you do have the right wool for it – let me know what colour you end up choosing!
Love your pattern, can’t wait to make it. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for sharing such a beautiful pattern.
WOWZA! This is gorgeous and I can’t wait to get started.
Thanks very much! It’ll be with you soon.
Very nice ! I love it!!
Thank you! The pattern will be with you very soon.
Absolutely. Unlike us, you must be guaranteed snow in Canada!
You have inspired me to give knitting another try. My past experiences have not been enjoyable.
I’m hoping for a turn around with this project. Thank you.
Oh, I really hope you enjoy knitting this. Do remember to come back for the Friday knitalong tutorials if you need photos and extra instructions. And if you’re still stuck, feel free to drop me a comment or email, and I’ll be happy to help.
Lovely sweater. I look forward to making one on one of Canada’s many snowdays.
When I was designing it, I did imagine cosying up at home on a snowy day, and casting on. I hope you enjoy doing just that!
Thank you. A lovely garment.
This is a lovely sweater and it is very generous of you to share it with us. I am looking forward to adding it to my list of finished projects. Thank you.
Do let me know when you’ve added it to that list, and what colour you make it in.
Thanks for telling me exactly what you like about it; that’s really helpful. I hope you enjoy making and wearing it!
You’re welcome! It’s on its way.
Thank you! This is beautiful!
This is a very lovely sweater!
I’ve had to begin making myself tops and sweaters as I can’t seem to find any that fit me properly. I can’t wait to start this one!
This should fit fine – just measure yourself before choosing a size and allow 1-2″ of positive ease. Let me know how it goes!
I love the boatneck . This is a very interesting sweater. Thank you so much for offering it for free.
Thanks – I love boatnecks too.
It has been put together as a First Sweater pattern, so I hope you enjoy it. Make sure you come back and use the tutorials every week. Let me know how you get on.
I love this pattern, would love to knit it!
I love it. I can’t wait to do this one for my daughter.
Let me know what colour wool you use.
Please send me a pattern. This is beautiful! Thank you!
I’d love a copy of your lovely pattern. Thank you.
Would love to get the pattern, thank you for the offer !
What a beautiful blog you have created! I love the generosity of spirit you have created within your community. I would love to receive your PDF. Your jumper is quite lovely, and though in Deep South Central Texas we don’t have long winters or very cold ones it will be worn until our days warm up. Thank you.
I’ve benefitted so much from free patterns and tutorials over the years, so it’s nice to give something back. I hope you enjoy wearing it – the thought of short, mild winters is a lovely one!
What a wonderful gift! I would love to start on this beautiful sweater. Thank you for sharing your PDF.
Thank you! It’s on its way.
I would love to receive a copy of your pattern!
It’s on its way to you!
I would love a pdf of this!
Thanks! If you want to post your own version on Instagram, there’s a snowdayjumper hashtag.
What a great pattern! I would love to start knitting it right now – but for any reason I’m not able to find the “download button”. It seems I have to wait – grrr – for this feature, unfortunately I am not known.
Super nice pattern, well done!
This pattern is so pretty, especially in the natural color!
Thank you for offering the pattern, I love it!
Thank you for this lovely pattern. I am looking forward to receiving the pattern and making it. I enjoyed reading your blog.
Thanks, Brenda. I’m really glad you enjoyed having a read. Thanks for taking the time to do so.
Can’t wait to see your pattern.
You should have it by now!
What a pretty sweater! And what a great gift for fall. Thank you!
I really love the link version.
Home recovering and scanning patterns. This one is gorgeous.
Thank you! I hope the recovery goes well.
Thank you for your generosity!! I can’t wait to start a knitting project with bobbles in it!!
Hi! Lovely pattern. I would love to knit. Thank you for the offer!

Wow…. I’d love to receive a copy to knit this up!
I would love a copy of your lovely Snow Day! I know my granddaughters would love one as would I. It’s such a lovely sweater. Thank you so much for sharing!
I love the thought of granny-granddaughter jumpers. Enjoy!
Such a warm, cozy-looking sweater! Would love to have the pattern to start knitting!
It is SO cosy. Enjoy!
This looks a very fun knit – please would you send me a copy?
It is! Enjoy making it.
What a cosy sweater, just in time for the cold! I would love to have a copy!
What a kind gesture… I love the design.
I have saved the original pattern to my library, but am assuming there won’t be an update for the pdf in that way. Thank you for this lovely design.
No, you’re right – but I’ve emailed it to you. Enjoy!
Thank you for your generous offer of this pattern. Please send me your pattern ! Thank you !
I would love to have a copy of this gorgeous pattern. Thank you for your generosity.
So I didn’t see my original comment from earlier today. I would love to work on this beautiful sweater and add to my minimal but every growing handknit wardrobe with something this beautiful. Please send me the pattern.
I generally don’t care for Bobbles, but love your design.
Thanks! Feel free to leave the bobbles off – there are instructions included on how to do so (if you need them).
You should have received it now. Enjoy!
Thank you. That’s just what I was aiming for. I think even First Jumpers should be interesting and beautiful, so I hope this fits the bill.
Thank you for sharing your talent Looking forward to knitting this jumper.
Thank you so much for taking the time to make the pattern for this wonderful sweater.
Hello, think I might have already posted but am excited as this would be my first sweater…great to have piece by piece guidance! Thx for sharing your skills!
Let me know how you get on, and don’t forget to come back for weekly tutorials to help you along.
This looks lovely. Congratulations on your first published pattern. I live in York too! Looking forward to knitting this.
Thank you! I will be looking out for someone wearing a Snow Day from now on… You’ll have to let me know what colour to look out for!
Thank you for your generous offer of this pattern. You put a lot of thought into the details.
It looks like a fun one to knit !
You’re welcome. I did, because details really matter. Especially to new knitters. Thanks for noticing!
Thank you for sharing. It looks lovely!
Thank you for your generosity in sharing this pattern 🙂 I look forward to receiving it!
Please send me a copy becouse a love it.
Thank you for offering your new Snow Day pattern. Among the features I find especially appealing are the ribbed sleeves and the side slits at the hem and the lowered back hem.
Thanks for telling me what you like about it – that’s really useful for future designs.
Good luck with the knitting and the pattern. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely love this jumper… Would love to get the pattern if possible. And of course thank you so much for bringing us this pattern… And For free… Wow!!!
Snow Day is a gorgeous sweater and one I would love to knit for my own daughter. Thank you!!
I love this sweater and I keep trying to post a comment since I would love to get the pattern so I can try this as my first ever sweater. It would be a great Christmas present.
PS. Sorry if all my comments do eventually post. This is the first time I’ve been inspired to leave a comment on a blog so I’m sure I’m doing something wrong.
Hi Teresa, I’m delighted that I’ve inspired you to leave a comment for the first time! First-time comments need to be approved by me, that’s all. If you try to comment again, it’ll post straight away.
The pattern will be coming yours – and everyone else’s – way later today!
If you’re worried about making a sweater, then this is the pattern for you! Come back every Friday for tutorials with photos, and leave a comment if you have any questions.
Love the bobbles, thank you!
Thank you! Do come back for the tutorials, and feel free to leave me a comment with any questions you might have.
Hi Gisela, the recommended yarn is Drops Alaska. Enjoy!
Gracias y felicidades por este hermoso jersey.
Saw this on Ravelry and loved it! My daughter and I are going to knit it together as she’s never made a jumper. Thanks so much!
Great! I have designed this as a First Sweater, and she’ll have no problems with an experienced knitter by her side! There will be tutorials here every Friday too, if she needs them. Best of luck!
Am having a full hip replacement Oct 9th. This looks like the perfect project to take on while I am recovering.
I hope your hip replacement goes well and that you recover quickly. I, too, would be gathering projects to keep my hands busy during convalescence.
I would love to add this sweater to my fall knitting plans!
Love this pattern, especially in pink! I would love to have this pattern.
Thanks! Yes, I’m really hoping that people will post photos of their Snow Days in progress and once completed. I’d love to see them all!
absolutely gorgeous sweater! looks amazing on you and I can hardly wait to make one for myself. Looking forward to the release of the pattern this Friday – thank you for inspiring me.
Thank you so much! I think it’ll look good on everyone, really. I’m delighted that I’ve inspired you!
Absolutely love this sweater- love the hem and bobbles!
Thanks! I really enjoyed designing those features.
Beautiful Sweater … love to knit this, thank you.
Absolute love it ! Already stash diving for the perfect color 🙂 Can’t wait to get started. Thanks for gifting your pattern !
Oh, do let me know what you find in your stash to knit it in. I’m curious to see how it knits up in other yarns.
Thank you, lovely pattern, would love a copy.
Very nice! I like how it combines different kinds of stitches and makes a cohesive and beautiful piece. Sounds like a good first sweater project too!
Adore! The bobbles are delightful and the rugged look of the ribbed sleeves is a wonderful contrast and complements them perfectly. Would love a copy!
Thanks! And yes, of course I’ll send you one when it’s released tomorrow.
Really pretty sweater. I was looking for the next sweater project and I think this may be it! Thanks for designing it.
Thank you, I so glad you like it.
This is so cute! I love the bobbles (which I’ve never done) and the neckline. Would love a copy!
Thanks! The bobbles are dead easy. Make one and you’ll be away.
It’s so beautiful! It’s exactly what a girl needs to feel pretty on a cold day! Can’t wait to pull out the needles! Many, many thanks for sharing & exciting us about what we can create!
Thank you so much! I have other things I have to get finished first, but can’t wait to knit this!
I like to finish things off before starting new projects too. Good luck with them all!
What a fab looking jumper. I love Drops but never tried Alaska so looking forward to knitting this.
Isn’t Drops fabulous? Alaska is lovely – really springy and soft. I hope you enjoy working with it as much as I have.
Well, I can’t, that’s for sure! Thanks!
I’m still undecided about the bobbles, but I like the ribbing in the sleeves and the uneven hem. I’ll try the bobbles, but won’t guarantee that I’ll keep them.
Actually, the pattern gives instructions for leaving them out, because I know they’re not everyone’s thing. Glad you like the hem though – that was a must-have feature for me.
You’re very welcome. I hope it helps you master some new skills.
Not ‘possibly’, but ‘definitely’! Make use of the knitalong tutorials every Friday – they’ll make it easy for you.
This would be a lovely first sweater project for me. I thank you for such a beautiful pattern!
You’re welcome! Do let me know how you get on, and remember to come back for the knitalong tutorials every Friday.
Such a lovely pattern! I would love to knit this up with some of my handspun! So sweet of you to give this! Thank you!
I’d love to see another handspun version – please share photos!
Thanks! Nice sweater pattern. Looking forward to casting on.
Thanks! I’m delighted to hear that you’re using it to teach a new knitter – just what it was designed for!
Awesome looking sweater. It’s something I’ve been looking for in a sweater.
Thank you! I’m glad it fits the bill.
Snow days are guaranteed in my part of the world, and this cozy pullover will fit the bill nicely!
Thank you! We had a lot of snow days last winter… waiting to see what this winter will bring.
What a beautiful sweater! I just had a look at my favourite online yarn shop and found two gorgeous colours of Drops Alaska just waiting to be knit into this sweater – either No 45 light olive or No 58 mustard. I’m looking forward to Friday! Thank you for this pattern!
Lovely! Looking forward to this! Thanks!
Looks really nice. Can’t wait to make one for my niece for Christmas or birthday (they’re practically the same day, so the wrapping paper differentiates!
Oh my! But what a lovely gift – a hand knit sweater from her aunt. That’s really special.
I have some yarn that will be perfect for this. I would love a copy of the pattern please. I can’t wait to get started.
Thank you! There’ll be a copy of the pattern coming your way tomorrow.
This would be a lovely knit project!
Gorgeous pattern. I would love to make this!
Love this so much! I can’t wait to start my first sweater, especially with such a gorgeous pattern!
Oooh! Such a gorgeous sweater! I am so excited to make this! I haven’t made any sweaters yet, but I can’t wait to get started!
Such a nice sweater! I have added it to my Ravelry favorites and am looking forward to the pattern on friday. Thank you!
This is a gorgeous sweater! I have added it to my Ravelry library. Thank you!
What a wonderful gift you are giving everyone, can’t wait. Thankyou.
A lovely jumper. Would love to make one!
Looks lovely… I think I’ll join in and have a go! I’ve not previously had much success with sweaters (seem to have got stuck at hats) so am looking forward to trying the pattern.
Brilliant! You are just the person that this was written for. Looking forward to getting started with the knitalong on Friday!
I would love a copy!! Thank you!!
Looks like a great oattern. I would love to have a copy. Will be looking forward to Friday!!
Gorgeous! I’ve added it on Revelry.
