Yes! It was just so much fun we are doing it again!! I love knit-a-longs because it's great to be able to learn from each other, have accountability and a group of cheerleaders to help when you hit a road bump!!
This time around we are knitting the LOVENOTE SWEATER by Tin Can Knits! This sweater knits up FAST because it is on size 10 needles. I barely remembered casting it on...I think it's magical and might have knit itself!!!
The original pattern suggests a strand of fingering weight and a strand of mohair. When I found Lagom, a newer yarn in the shop, I KNEW it had to be a Lovenote Sweater. The chainette ply coupled with the light and airy cotton/wool blend just seemed like it would be the perfect fit. The yarn has a ton of yardage (218 yards for 50grams) which meant I would get a lot of bang for my buck! Never in my life would I have thought I could make a plus size sweater for this body with only 200g of yarn!! I did do a 3/4 sleeve and a bit of a cropped sweater.
I'm listing how much Lagom you will need for each sweater size for the longer sweater length. If you are substituting a different yarn, just remember this yarn is 218 yards for 50g.
For the smallest baby size you will need 1 ball.
For 6-12 month to 4-6 years you will need 2 balls
For 6-8 years to Adult Small you will need 3 balls
For Adult Medium to Large you will need 4 balls
For Adult XL/XXL you will need 5 balls
For the Adult 3XL-4XL you will need 6 balls
For the Adult 5XL you will need 7 balls
Details:
- Since this is a sized garment that will require different amounts of yarn, I'm not going to make kits. Make sure to put 'Knit a long" in the Notes box! Your purchase of yarn will include the printed pattern as well as the digital version on Ravelry. https://www.alittleknitty.com/shop/June-2020-Knitalong.htm
- You will need US7-16" and 32", US10-16" and 32" you MIGHT need DPN for the sleeves, but I magic loop!
- You do not have to purchase the yarn from the shop to knit-a-long with us. You will need to purchase your pattern on Ravelry if you are not purchasing the yarn. https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/love-note
- This is not a traditional class, just a casual gathering of people knitting the same thing! Of course you will have A Little Knitty friends there for you every step of the way, I will answer any question you have and the pattern has amazing resource links!
