Join me for the Palm Canyon KAL! It’s a fun knit with an integrated sleeve and tons of options. There are two different yarns, two different decorative seaming options, and the top is also fully reversible! The pattern comes with tutorials for a variety of neck options, gauge options, and body and sleeve length options. Not only does it come in TWELVE sizes, but with a few mix-and-match changes, the pattern can have over 20 different sizes. Make one in each yarn and you’ll have your favorite top for all seasons!
This class includes fully written, with in-depth lessons on gauge, shaping, sleeve adjustments, neck width, and more—so you can knit with confidence! Whether you’re a first-time sweater knitter or a seasoned pro, Palm Canyon is designed to help you build your skills and achieve a sweater you’ll love to wear.
This class is hosted on my education site! Learn more below.
