May we suggest a worsted-weight,
versatile, classic sweater?

We're getting ready to stitch together, and we want you to join us! We've picked two of our favorite pieces and, while we've organized a few kits (see below) to simplify matters, we've also put together a list suggesting some great alternative yarns, along with yardage requirements for both standard and cropped lengths, so you can make the sweater of your dreams this winter!

Read on for details about each sweater, links to our classes, and more!

KAL: Classic Cardigan

FROM TIN CAN KNITS

Pockets!!!! Tin Can Knits’ Classic Cardigan is a perfect example of how a basic wardrobe piece doesn’t have to be boring! The top-down raglan construction in a pattern written with Tin Can Knits’ trademark clarity makes for a confusion-free process, while Berroco Ultra Wool (100% superwash wool) provides washability in a range of classic heathered, bright and neutral colors. Looking for a summer-weight version of this cardigan? Check out our Classic Cardigan Kit knit in Amano Chaski!

Both options are available in
sizes 1 through 12.

CAL: Coco Cardigan

FROM NOMAD STITCHES

More pockets!!! Nomad Stitches' Coco crochet cardigan has a perfectly fitting, deep V-neck, lovely rounded corners at the front, and deep, functional pockets. The set-in sleeves are loose and airy, with a slight balloon shaped cuff, and the cardigan can be worn loose and open or with buttons added for a more fitted look. Berroco Ultra Wool (100% superwash wool) provides washability in a range of classic heathered, bright, and neutral colors.

Available in sizes 1 through 9.
