Knit the Ranunculus Sweater Class | Sunday, Oct 11, 25, Nov 1, 8 | 12-2 PM

This class would require 4 classes, each 2 hours long.

Objective: Learn to knit this gorgeous lace sweater. It is a top-down round yoke pullover with lace and textured stitches.

Skills needed: cast on, bind off, knitting, and purling in the round.

Skills learned: cast on methods, short rows shaping, sleeve shaping, lace and cable stitches.

Pattern: Ranunculus by Midori Hirose

Yarn: You can use lace, light fingering to worsted weight yarn. The yarn used as shown in the picture was a combination of a fingering weight yarn combined with a silk mohair lace weight. This combined weight created a DK weight. Please use the pattern for the amount of yarn needed after choosing which size.

Needles: 6 mm (US 10) circular needle as the main needle in 32 inches and 16 inches circulars and DPNs. 5 mm (US 8) needle in 32 inches and 16 inches circulars and DPNs for hem ribbing and finishing sleeve. Adjust the needle sizes if necessary to get gauge, 14 stitches x 20 rows = 10 cm (4”) with main needle in stockinette after wet blocking.

Notions: plenty of stitch markers, at least 1 for marking end of round and 4 for raglan & center front (use a different shape or color for end of round), progress stitch markers, tapestry needle, stitch holders such as barber cords or silicone tubes, crochet hook (only for smaller neckline).
