Worried about Winter stir-craziness and bad-weather boredom? Try this super-cozy sweater DIY and snuggle up in style!
- Step 1: Gather supplies. Neon fabric markers (mine are from Hobby Lobby) and a fair-isle sweater (or something with a similar geometric pattern). This vintage one is from the thrift store a few years ago, but there are some other options here, here and here.
- Step 2: Decide which shapes will get filled in with which colors.
- Step 3: Find adorable puppy assistant. Put on holiday movie (I recommend Elf or Home Alone) and carefully color in the shapes.
- Step 4: Wear around your neighborhood and make the fellow dogpark patrons very jealous.
Before
After!
What do you think - Would you try this jazzed up version of a tried and true classic? Kind of similar to this little candy-colored treat from Juicy Couture, no? Let me know if you try it for yourself!









LOVE the look & the ease of this project...now I need to go buy a fair-isle sweater so I can try it!! :)
