The Firebird pattern comes in sizes XS (S, M, L) (XL, 2XL, 3XL) (4XL, 5XL) and was knitted with three of our favorite yarn bases: Resilient Sock, Sparkle DK, and Pearlescent Fingering. All three yarns were dyed with the same formula, but the color on each yarn base appears slightly different due to the ways in which different fibers take the dye. Don't be afraid to mix and match different yarn bases and weights when making this pattern!
The sample shown here used A) Cherry Red Resilient Sock (400 yds per 4 oz skein), B) Cherry Red Sparkle DK (275 yds per 3.5 ounce skein), and C) Cherry Red Pearlescent Fingering (550 yds per 4 oz skein). You'll need the following amount of yarn for the Firebird pattern: Yarn 1: 300-625 yds (274-572 m), Yarn 2: 433-938 yds (396-858 m), and Yarn 3: 213-463 yds (195-423 m), depending on the size you make. Use the table on page 6 of the pattern to find the amount of yarn needed for your size. If you wish to make the torso longer, you will need additional yardage.

There is so much beauty in the world to enjoy. The laughter of my great-nephews, their excitement over accomplishments, changing seasons, time with friends and family, and learning something new. As someone else noted, our lives are finite. The lives we touch and the memories we make are beauty we leave behind.
I had my son 6 months ago after 9 years of trying and 3 miscarriages. Looking at him leaves me speechless at how beautiful and precious life is. Becoming a mother for the first time has taught me to slow down and look at all the beautiful things surrounding me, especially looking through my son's eyes.

Make sure and soak in every moment and hold them precious. The time we get to spend with our children is so very short. It seems like they are here, the center of our world and then they are gone, forming a life of their own.

Thank you. Sending both of you ladies positive energies your way. Motherhood changes you in a way, I never expected.
A Hearty Smile 😀 is beautiful to me! You can see the joy in the person’s eyes! I love it. And you, Chandi, dazzle with your smile daily 😊
I find our knitting community beautiful. Creative souls sharing their ideas in a tangible form.
As a Death Doula, I find beauty in all the little things in life but nothing is ever as beautiful as helping someone at the end of their life look back at all they’ve seen and done, healing old wounds, wrapping up their affairs in this realm, and being there to help walk them home. The fact that life is finite is what makes it so awe inspiring and beautiful! Don’t waste time on things that don’t light you up. Nobody is on their deathbed wishing they had worked harder and spent more hours on the job. Don’t let all the little miracles happening around you pass by unnoticed. And please, please plan for and talk about what you want at the end of your life with your loved ones. We all know how this story ends. When you come to your end, have nothing left to do but die and leave nothing behind for your tribe to do but grieve for you. We are all just borrowing atoms from the universe, and one day we must give them back. ❤️
I try and find beauty in all the little things that happen throughout the day. Weather it's a rainy, cozy day, or the snuggle of one of my kitties, or a hug from my kids, or a smile from my partner. Every day I choose to find something beautiful to brighten my day, and this sweater pattern is it for today! Thanks so much, as always, Chandi and EFA! ❤🧶 🐙
Happiness is about the little things like dogs and yarn and that's the most beautiful for me 😊
I find beauty in the horse world.... watching them move, interacting with them. They are amazing creatures who can soothe your soul! Love the new pattern!
I see happiness in the little things in life. Getting together with friends, helping others, being with my family.
There are so many beauties in life to enjoy, but keeping in the fiber arts category, I am always in awe at how we knitters and crocheters can make such beautiful garments with woolen string! That's beautiful to me. It's actually amazing, with a few flicks of our hands and wrists, we are able to create such amazingness😀
I find that we are extremely lucky to have you in our lives. You make my day happy and I feel so inspired when I watch your videos. I know how to knit and crochet but I never learn how to read a crocheting pattern because my mom only taught me by picture from other people's patterns, she couldn't afford to buy everything so we made do, now my youngest daughter taught her self how to crochet and she does beautiful work. When I came across almond flowers I was in love and then realized that it was a crochet pattern🫣...I was like I need to learn how to read a Crochet pattern because I really want to make it, I showed it to my daughter and she fell in love with it too, and said mom we can do this together and learn everything together🥹😁...I was like OMGs really!! She said yes mom🥹🥰!! So I said ok, I'll order the yarn and the pattern and will get it done😊😁. So now we're planning on starting on it this coming weekend 👏🥰. And she's in love with you too by the way. Thank you for being you❤️❤️❤️
The sweater is gorgeous! What I find the most beautiful is the smiles of my grandchildren 🤗
I think you can find beauty in everything if you look for it. For me, it's in nature, whether it's when the snow sparkles like tiny diamonds, or the multi-colors of sunsets and sunrises. Sometimes it's not seen but heard or smelled or touched. Beauty is everywhere.
Birds, flowers, sunrise & sunset are what's beautiful to me.
That sweater is beautiful! The most beautiful thing in the world is a child's laughter. I don't think there's anything else in the entire world that touches my heart as that can

There are to many beautiful things on this wonderful planet we live on, it's to hard to name just one!!
I find the most amazing beauty in my daughters. They are strong and gifted young women. They are artistic. It is amazing to me how similar yet very different they are. They both enjoy fiber crafts. One knits and does counted cross stitch. The other crochets, draws, and paints. The most beautiful part of them is the love they have for each other and their families. They truly inspire me every day.
Gorgeous sweater! And yay! Thank you for starting to put the names of the yarn you show when discussing the different bases. I'm always trying to work out what they are, so this is perfect! There are so many things I find beautiful, but the most beautiful thing is having God in my life and a family to love. Thank you for the wonderful tutorial!
I believe when you witness random acts of kindness from stranger to stranger it is a beautiful thing! Als when someone makes something out of nothing like in knitting it is a beautiful thing! Taking “String”and making it into a firebird sweater is pure magic.
The most beautiful thing to me is when I see strangers helping out other strangers. It reminds me that there are still people who care. Thank you again for another beautiful pattern.
What I find beautiful is finishing a knit piece and give it to someone you love
I love nature. There is so much beauty in just the green trees with blue skies.
I find my elderly black cat chortling and snorting in her sleep to be so beautiful.
Amazing sweater now on my someday list. The most beautiful thing I’ve seen recently was my daughter’s joyful smile in her engagement photos. She’s fought through some very rough times to emerge a confident amazing woman and will soon be married to a kind, loving man. The joy and contentment she exudes is beyond beautiful to me!
Very beautiful sweater. I enjoy watching my 1 year old grandson he give me so much joy. I love the beautiful sunset and sunrises every day thanking God for everyone. Thanks for sharing another beautiful pattern. 🧶🤗💜
Seeing my grown children and grandchildren in person is the most personal beautiful thing, but in respect to that which all might see, the most beautiful sight is an early crescent moonrise in winter, where the moon is tinged with orange and Venus is shining brightly alongside it. It just leaves me in awe.
Beauty lies in the eyes of my newborn granddaughter. She lives in SW Colorado, and I'm flying there to meet her next week. I've used your Worth pattern for both of my grandbabies to knit them beautiful baby blankets with your beautiful yarn. My kids love that their children have soft, beautiful knitted items, knowing they are made with love from their Nonna.
So many things are beautiful! Smiles, sunsets, EFA yarns! I am blessed to live in this beautiful world.
I feel knitting is Beautiful, making such lovely things with merely sitcks and fibre running through your fingers to produce such amazing results. It truly is a gift!
So much beauty all around. You, my dear, are beautiful. Truly, your playful spirit shines through your videos and always make me smile. Thank you for this and all you do to make the world a better place.
I love how beautiful nature is and how we can pull inspiration from anywhere to create beautiful things ourselves.
Rainbows, they can appear when you least expect them, they encompass all the color spectrums and they remind me that there is hope, and possibilities ahead. You can never know what you will find at the end of the Rainbow but with strength and perseverance you will have a journey to remember with joy. That to me is the greatest riches of all.
Nothing is more fun than working cables into your knitting! Especially if you are knitting with Pearlescent. The qualities of this yarn make the effort of doing cables well worth it!
Sun rises and sun sets. The colors that hit the sky are just spectacular.
A clear blue sky in winter is beautiful.
Puppies!!! I love puppies, and they all grow up to be gorgeous dogs, regardless of the breed or mixes of breeds. This is a beautiful sweater, and I know right now that I would never EVER be able to follow this chart and create the center panel correctly! Thank you for all you do for the yarn world. And the blue you're using for your sample is absolutely gorgeous.
There are quite a few things that I find beautiful. One of those things is when you have been trying so hard to figure out how to do something for such a long time and it finally comes to you as if you've know how to do it all along. Everything clicks and you just...get it. 😌
YAY! I can't tell you how giddy I get when I see a new wearable. I find beauty in tons of stuff...nature (saw gorgeous tulips at the store an hour ago), the universe (bring on the constellations, nebulas, galaxies), women who age gracefully instead of doing procedures to keep them looking NOT their age, stained glass (great idea for yarn collection) windows in very old buildings/churches...soo much more. Thanks, Chandi and Debi!!!

You're so welcome ❤️
Something I find beautiful is looking at the beautiful colours from nature that are all around us as part of learning about using colour in my knitting, embroidery and sewing projects. I am becoming braver about combining different colours and hues. I love your beautiful designs and am very glad to have discovered them.
For me, beauty is in the smile of my daughter and my son and in the hug of my granddaughter when she gets home. Thank you very much, the design is beautiful! 😍
Cherished memories of loved ones are beautiful ❤
I love the simple things. The pinky orange glow when the sun sets has to be one of my most favorite things. ❤
I find life beautiful... literally life in, all forms. It amazes me how much has to happen in order to keep living for all species. For example, just for a muscle to contract, it takes a nerve impulse that releases chemicals that make a few different ions to set off a chain reaction of several biological and chemical events that causes mechanical action in the muscle fiber... it's just amazing and beautiful when you sit down and think about what a gift it is that all of these processes happen just so you can breathe, have a heartbeat, move your finger...etc. and every species has systems that are just as complex and amazing, from plants and mammals, all the way to bacteria and fungi! It's all beautiful!
So Many things I find beautiful. Hugs and laughter of my grandchildren. When my husband smiles at me. Little signs that spring isn't too far off. The sound of birds outside on the feeders. And of course, good yarn. ;) :D
What a beautiful sweater! I love those cables! What do I find beautiful? There's so many things, like nature, kind words, and you! Your videos, patterns, and yarn!!!!! In Navajo tradition, they have a goddess called, Corn Mother, who brought corn to the people and she taught them to see beauty before them, behind them, above them and below them. It's a great way of seeing beauty everywhere you look and to feel beauty inside yourself. May your week be beautiful. Love and hugs.
This crafting community is a beautiful thing. We are all unique and diverse and yet the creation of beautiful things uplifts and brings us all together.❤
I find beauty in the fiber arts community willing to help each other and pass along their knowledge of all things fiber! Thank you for the wonderful tutorials and stunning patterns!

I reside in North FL and what I find beautiful and really appreciate is the quiet beauty and calmness of a mild Saturday morning in the country just after sunrise.😊
I find beauty in everything, but I think my favorites are in nature, art/making/craftmanship, and unconditional love
Those cables are gorgeous! Whenever I step out into nature I’m reminded of how beautiful it is.
Flowers, butterflies, birds, sunrise, sunset, some man-made objects - there is so much beauty around us, it's just a matter of noticing it. The older I get, the easier it is for me to notice beauty in unexpected or in mundane moments. Maybe it's not always easy to appreciate it when life hits you hard. Then it's a good time to reminisce on beautiful memories.

Hi Chandi. Beautiful sweater. Thank you for showing us how to do those stitches. Beauty is all around us. For me, sitting on a jetty watching a sunset while the waves slowly roll into the shoreline is beautiful. Just one on many things that come into my mind. But the most beautiful thing in the works to me is the kindness we show to one and other. ❤ Have a wonderful weekend!❤️
I find the sky at dawn very beautiful - especially when seen in the reflection of a rain drop from he previous evening. I truly believe that one can see the entire universe in that rain drop!
My most beautiful recent remembrance is hearing my mother’s laughter after so many months of silence. Happy FRIYAY to all. Beautiful pattern.
I find a rainy windy spring day beautiful. But more beautiful are all the plants and greenery that spring up a few days after❤
I find flowers to be amazing inspiration for colors and patterns
I find so many things beautiful - fields of sunflowers, sunsets, sunrises, sandy beaches - I could go on. Love this sweater design!
What a pretty sweater! I tell my college-boy son every day to find happiness in something each day, in doing so I also look for happiness in little things. I find beauty in the smiles of my not so little children (29, 25, & 20). My heart warms when I see them smile and that’s my favorite beauty!

Que lindo! Mãe, é mãe em qualquer lugar do mundo! 😘🇧🇷
What a beautiful sweater, the yarn color is gorgeous. I find a sky full of stars, breath taking & beautiful. Your sparkle dk yarn reminds me of stars, shining in the sky. I saw a shooting star & it was awesome.
The most beautiful human to me is my daughter. She is everything I wish I could’ve been at her age. She fills my cup. Love her so much.
Family & friends. Making knitted items for the little ones & hiding chocolate or a few dollars in them. Seeing smiles & hugs I get from the little ones, that's beautiful. 🥰

What I find beautiful 😍……. I love falling snow ❄️, is there any as enchanting!
Love this pattern and colours, I found so beautiful and heart warming to hear and see my 9 year old son laugh, he just have the most beautiful smile, 😍😄
The most beautiful thing to me is hearing my six year old daughter who has Down Syndrome say words. She is slowly gaining more and more and has begun answering my questions by speaking instead of pointing!
Thank you for yet another great pattern, love how it incorporated three different yarns in the same color scheme to create extra texture and visual appeal to the sweater! Nature is often presenting things of beauty that require me to be present in the moment to see - from the blossoming of flowers to the dusk or dawn skyline or a butterfly flitting by.
I find beauty looking at my garden and patio, always with flowers.🌺
Something I find beautiful is that when I finish a project it actually turns out, even though I grumbled all the way through. 🇨🇦❣️
Gorgeous design and stunning yarn. Thank you Debi and Chandi for sharing it with us. Music is beautiful. Not something you can see 😊 but you can notice what feelings it awakes and how it can change the mood a person is having. Have a warm, happy, joyful weekend 💜
Many beautiful things in the world! Learning and discovering, finishing a good book, getting better after feeling sick, a loved one's hug, puppy breath, children messy kisses...
Happy Friday, and what a beautiful pattern this week! I've been more interested in cables recently and this has plenty of those to try 😊 Beauty in this world is a hug, a smile, an inside joke, a moonlit night, sunshine glittering on the water, a hot tea, kindness with no expectation in return.
Beautiful cables! I immediately fell in love with knitted cables, and learned them early in my knitting journey. 😊 In life, I find nature/creation just simply beautiful. We can be driving through the middle of nowhere and even wide open space is just beautiful. On the contrary, I've never found myself saying how beautiful a city is 😄 I guess I'm just more of a country girl! Lol ~(Kyle's) Dori 🙂
I’m very lucky that there are so many beautiful things in my life. I started my day looking out my window at a beautiful field covered in snow
That is a gorgeous design! Thank you for this pattern. Good clear instructions on all those cables. I find so much of nature to be beautiful but I truly love the beautiful variety of birds!!! So special to me.
The most beautiful thing to me is sunrise.
To me, sunrises are the most beautiful thing 😍. Perfect magical start to my day ❤
There are so many things I find beautiful in this world: sunrises and sunsets, freshly fallen snow, brightly colored flowers, the gorgeous Sandia Mountains in ABQ. But I think the two most beautiful things to me are seeing my husband bonding with our baby girl, and attending the traditional Latin mass every Sunday and seeing how beautifully and reverently it is celebrated. Having God at the center of our lives is the most beautiful and most perfect way to live!
I find beauty in the tiny things. When you look at the small details that's when I find awe and am amazed. When I am in the garden and just looking at the leaves and how there pattern is never the same. There's a old barn close to my house with a old 1950s round body truck parked close to it. Neither have been touched for years but even time I see it I think it should be a painting. It looks like it belongs in that place looking just as it does. Some might say it looks old or trashy but to me it's beautiful. There's beauty all around us we just have to be open and receive it. There is beauty in words as well. If we let go of our parts that are jaded. ❤️💜💙🩵🩷💗
🌴☀️I’ve been purchasing EFA for years now. What I find beautiful is that you are always giving & sharing & uplifting us ALL! Always sharing stunning patterns that are breathtaking & well written. I find you heart beautiful & it translates throughout your brand☀️🌴
At this minute I find my cat Mr Cuddles, sleeping on my lap, so beautiful.
I love the process of monarch butterflies forming from the caterpillars to cocoon and then the final butterfly. Each step is beautiful.
What a beautiful pattern and yarn. The new Spring flowers that start popping up are so beautiful. To me they show the wonders of new life beginning.
I find the colour of cherries on trees in the summer so beautiful and you perfectly captured such hue in your yarn.
I lost 3 family members and my service dog all in same 15 months. I knit constantly and love your yarn. I was in a down moment and I got a text from YOU . . . Telling me I was strong and can overcome, was able to overcome the challenges i faced. I cherish your little messages I get, like chicken soup and warm memories and healing words. YOU are beautiful and a sweet soul and do more then you know. XO

I think mountains are beautiful. They are so majestic and intimidating from a distance, but, once you start hiking through them the natural beauty is so serene and calming.
What a pretty sweater have to try and the color is beautiful, my happy moment is when I watch my grandson trying to dance like a pro and the smile on his face it makes my day ,have a great day
Today I find this sweater with this gorgeous color combo beautiful.
This world is filled with so many beautiful things such as mountains, flowers, the ocean, and of course the family and friends we love.
I can find beauty in almost anything, the world is truly glorious!!
What beautiful colours, I love all things red! ❤ Kindness and love are beautiful, especially when they are given selflessly.
Life has so many beautiful things to notice, but for me, anything in nature brings a glow to my soul.
To me, the most beautiful thing to be blessed to see is a mother with her child. The way she is enthralled with her giggling baby or chatty toddler or even in deep conversation with her teen is enchanting to me. It brings me such joy to see it. ❤
If we're talking about what we find beautiful, twisted cables are pretty high up there for me! But I've got to save the top slots for my spouse and my cat, of course. I'm also entranced by the discovery process in yarn dyeing, the way different bases--even different types of spin and ply--completely transform the color depth and uptake of the same dye. Thank you for a pattern that celebrates this beauty!
Beautiful sweater. As a new knitter, you always give such great instructions. For me, I find laughter beautiful.
I find beauty in scenery weather it is on tv or in person. There is just something about beachs, sky, mountains, snow. I could go on and on. I love this sweater also.
My new grandbaby is beautiful ❤
The thing I find most beautiful is how the colors of nature blend and contrast. Red is my favorite color! I must have this cherry wine yarn.
I find beauty in family enjoying our wonderful outdoors in our state of Idaho. Love your yarns❤️
I love a quiet morning with a cup of coffee, my knitting and my husband - all before my kiddos wake up:) I find the Cherry red hues yarn selected AND this enchanting sweater!
Another stunning pattern! It's Snowdrop season here and they let us know that the beautiful rebirth of spring is on its way.
Hi Chandi. Thank you for another easy to follow stitch tutorial and gorgeous pattern! Have a beautiful and craft filled week!
