Rosie Sweater

Join us this winter in knitting the gorgeous Rosie Sweater! This class is designed to help you work through the challenging parts of the pattern together. 

Knit from the top-down, starting with a provisional cast-on, all in one piece. First, you'll cast on provisionally and work the back and fronts. Then you'll pick up stitches for the sleeves and set up your raglan increases. Then you'll start your colorwork.  When you've finished the yoke, you'll separate the sleeves from the body, working first the body, then the sleeves. You will pick up stitches and knit your neckband.

Knit this in a single worsted-weight yarn, or hold it together with a strand of mohair as shown in the pattern photo.
