Boardwalk Sweater (aka perfect striped sweater) KAL
Everyone needs a perfect striped sweater!
Starting from the neck, no seaming & a minimum stitches to pick up, make this sweater perfect for summer knitting.
Knit House KAL is a very supportive and fun way to learn the skills to knit successful sweaters. You will also be provided with many opportunities to customize your sweater the way you like.
The sample is knit with Saredo’s new yarn ‘Watakami’. It has a beautiful drape and a perfect feel on your skin. If you prefer to knit with wool based yarn, please see the yarn selections below.
There are a couple of weeks between session 1 & 2 which will give you a nice relaxed period of time to knit in preparation for Session 2.
