What's in the Tea Leaves?


This time, the tea leaves are predicting a knitalong of this gorgeous top-down sweater.
Melissa LaBarre is the designer of this cardigan, which is available in both adult and children's sizes. It is knit in one piece, mostly in stockinette stitch. The yoke has a smocked effect, and the open front flatters all figure types. It was designed to show off the hand-dyed colors of Madelinetosh yarn, but it can be knit in any DK-weight material.
As usual, the knitalong is free with pattern purchase, and we'll be there along the way to help you. The Tea Leaves Sweater kicks off January 26 from 3 to 5. Check our newsletter for more information.
