Winter Knit-Along with Grace
Wednesdays, February 1 to March 7
6:30 – 8:00 pm
In-Store at the Lion Brand Yarn Studio

It’s FREE to join this in-store Knit-Along (KAL)!

To join, be sure to register at check-out when you come to the LBYS to purchase all the yarn needed for the pattern. Our KAL this summer filled up on the first day, so come in soon to reserve your spot!

The table below shows how much Cotton-Ease you will need, but if you want to use another yarn we can help you choose a substitute when you come in.

Size	Small	Medium	Large	1X	2X
Number of balls (Cotton-Ease)	4	5	6	6	7
Finished bust (inches)	38	42	46	50	53.5
Finished length (inches)	21.5	22	22.5	23	23.5

Starting Wednesday, February 1, join Grace (one of our instructors, who will serve as your host and guide) every Wednesday evening for six weeks. With peer support and expert guidance, a KAL is a wonderful way to tackle your first sweater knitting project. Each week, Grace will you through a new section of the pattern, and everyone can work at their own pace.

The correction states “The ’0′ for size 1X means that you work the instructions once”. However, the 0 appears in the size M position.

Hey there Pat,
We checked the pattern and you were exactly right. The pattern has been corrected and is available now online. Thanks for letting us know!

Hi Everyone!
I live in upstate New York, and made matching child-sized versions of this sweater for my two south Florida granddaughters a couple of years ago. They were fun to make, not too difficult, and I know the kids wore them often. The Cotton-Ease held up well even with many washings. My younger daughter (now 28) has been asking me for a version of the sweater that would fit her ever since I made the matching ones for the two little ones. This is going to be fun to knit again in a size for us grown ups! And, I know who is going to be getting the sweater.

Hi Grammie_Sammie,
Love the name. Where did you find a pattern for this cardi for children? I have been searching for something like this for a 7 year old.

Hi Jerijam7, Grammie_Sammie is probably referring to the original Children’s Eloise Eyelet Cardi on LionBrand.com. Click here for the pattern (you may need to log into your LionBrand.com account to view it).

Hi Jerijam7 -

I like your unique name, also! The cardigan pattern is on the Lion Brand website under free patterns. There are two of them – the one for the smaller tots is call “Eyelet Yoke Cardigan” and the one for the primary school age children is call “Fresh Picked Color 3/4 Sleeve Cardigan.” If you find cotten-ease yarn and click on patterns that use this yarn at the bottom of the page, you should be able to find them both. Good luck with the search! Grammie_Sammie

Hi, I’m thinking about joining you, but I can’t decide what size to make. Can you tell me how about the ease on the model? Do I want a negative or positive ease, and if so, how much will give me a result similar to the picture? Thanks for your help!
