This simple garment will be your blank canvas.

Now let’s have some fun. Add a stitch pattern into the body of the sweater, play with the neckband, cuffs and bottom border of the sweater.

Make this sweater your own creation.

There will be lots of help as you take your first step away from the basic pattern.

Blocking 220 Superwash

We carry over 50 colours of 220 SW. It's fabulous for children's clothing, baby blankets and any garment you want to have machine washable!!    Cascade Yarns presents: Carly's Helpful Yarn Tips!
