Enjoy 20% 10/4 - 10/6/2021. No coupon code required.
Rid yourself of the fear of dropping stitches in your knitting with Levitating Cables, a pattern that intentionally has dropped stitches in it! Constructed from side to side, the cables will look like they are magically floating across your frame. Knit in Aran weight yarn with simple yet flattering shapes, you will be amazed how versatile this garment fits into your wardrobe. Style your garment over a tank top in warmer weather or as a layering piece in colder months to extend the life of your beautiful stitching. Directions are for the intermediate knitter (because of the cables) but don’t let that stop you - if you are not comfortable with cables yet, follow the Stripe version directions (your sweater will have columns of knitting instead of cables
