We’ve got a fun new bit of news for you today, Kay and Ann from Mason Dixon Knitting are running a giveaway on their blog to win the yarn to make this gorgeous sweater, Essie by Ella Austin, knitted in Scrumptious 4ply.

We're big fans of Ella's distinctive style and quirky colour work and this sweater is no exception. Knitted top down in the round to keep finishing to a minimum and with a boxy, easy to wear shape the clean lines are pepped up with the addition of little contrasting popcorn stitches around the neck.

Essie is part of Ella's new Colour and Line Collection, which is full of inspiring and fun to knit designs.

We love this cute summer sweater, so if you feel the same you can check out the pattern here and enter the giveaway on the Mason Dixon Knitting site here.

Don't delay, the giveaway runs until Saturday 4th June at 11pm Eastern time (EST)

Good luck :)
