It’s time to think about spring and summer knits…so join us as we have a two-week KAL (Knit Along) for the Urchin tee by Libby Jonson.
Come in early and let us help you select your yarn. This will give you time to make that dreaded swatch so we can check your gauge…so you will be ready to GO when we start working together!
Pattern information:
On the days you want to feel relaxed and fabulous, reach for Urchin.
Exuding understated grace, Urchin is oh-so-comfy and ideal for wearing over summery trousers, cute shorts and pretty skirts.
Her simple scooped neck and easy shape are flattering for a wide range of bodies, and her special details give Urchin a deliciously feminine feel, without any fuss.
Knitted from the top down, and incorporating subtle lace – making her perfect to wear without an extra layer underneath, Urchin is a quick and uncomplicated knit.
She’s a great project for new garment knitters, as well as experienced knitters looking for a soothing knit, and a fast finish.
Try her in linen and cotton blends for a super-summery feel, or experiment with warmer yarns for an elegant layer when the weather cools.
