Here is another amazing pattern by Caitlin Hunter of Boyland Knitworks. This pattern is available for purchase here on Ravelry. Please purchase and print the pattern prior to the first class. Our Studio Cathay DK yarn will work beautifully in this pattern. Also, consider our Merino Bamboo Fingering or Silk'n Linen . If you'd like a little sparkle and dressier elegance try our Walkabout Bling or our Starlite. Any of these yarns will work well to create a beautiful addition to your wardrobe.
The Oksa sweater is knit top down in the round and features a yoke design with slipped stitches, cables and simple knit and purl designs.
You can find the matching hat pattern here!
