We are celebrating Lolanchita’s release with a Summah Sweatah Weathah SALE! All my summer sweaters are BOGO!

Here’s Lolanchita, Lolancha’s sport weight little sister. This bottom -up textured yoke sweater is packed with fun techniques, has three sleeve lengths and 10 sizes to choose from. Lolanchita features Laura’s highly amusing textured Lolancha stitch which will have you slipping and dipping your needles in an elegant dance.

Lolanchita starts with a bottom border and flows into a soothing Stockinette Stitch body. Once that is complete, the sleeve stitches are provisionally cast onto stitch saver, and then it is time to work the yoke. Finally, those provisional sleeve stitches are slid back onto your needles and are worked downward to your desired length: cap, short or long!

There is a playlist on my YouTube Channel with a slew of tutorials to help you have success knitting Lolanchita!

Knit in any sport weight yarn that matches your mood. Reach for cotton or silk for a breezy summer tee, or a lightweight wool when you want a little extra warmth. Lolanchita is the epitome of a wearable warm weather sweater and is sure to become a staple of your handmade wardrobe… and maybe even turn you into a Lolantalope!
