BLUE SKY HOLIDAY KNITALONG

Join Blue Sky Nov 1 - Dec 31 2024 for the fourth and final pattern in the Textures and Techniques KAL series. Each KAL in 2024 features a pattern that is packed full of texture and an interesting technique or two. Join the KAL at the Blue Sky Ravelry group and share how you are creating your version of this piece.

In this KAL, which is ideal for intermediate knitters, participants will learn how to make a top-down raglan sweater using two different yarns. Participants will also learn the importance of making before and after blocking swatches since this pattern has a lot of stretch. The Saturnalia Sweater pattern is written for nine sizes, allowing knitters to pick their perfect fit.
