Monday Night Sweater Club:  Nola Edition

Instructors: Jennifer Hallan

Monday Night Sweater Club is a guided KAL—part class, part KAL, all fun! This KAL will take place in person over eight sessions on Monday nights from 6:00 - 8:00 pm starting November 18!

Together we will make the Nola cardigan by Yamagara Knits. This nod to magnolia blossoms is knit in bulky weight yarn and is a great first Intarsia colorwork pattern. Choose between wide sleeves or more traditional ones. Jennifer will help you knit a sweater that fits your body, using your gauge, body measurements, and personal sweater preferences.

Please note: This is not an opportunity to learn to knit or make a sweater for the first time. Check out our classes for our Introduction to Knitting and First Sweater classes.
