The Wednesday Sweater Kit

The Wednesday Sweater is worked from the top down. First the back is worked back and forth, while the slant of the shoulders is shaped with short rows to create a good fit. After this, each shoulder is worked separately back and forth on the circular needles. The shoulders are then joined to from the front yoke. At the underarm, the front and back are joined and the body is worked in the round on the circular needles. Stitches for the sleeves are picked up and knitted along the armholes and the sleeves are worked in the round down to the cuffs on a circular needle and double-pointed needles or with the Magic Loop technique. The large turtleneck collar is worked at the end from stitches that are picked up and knitted along the neck edge. The edges and collar are worked in twisted rib.
Begin by working a swatch to determine which needle size you need to achieve the correct gauge.

The Wednesday sweater is the perfect way to show off the drape and softness of our Saddle Peak yarn.

80% Baby Alpaca + 20% Rambouillet = a yarn so soft and squishy it may cause spontaneous hugging. You’ve been warned.

Saddle Peak is available in 17 colors because clearly one is never enough. This bulky beauty has somehow become one of our best-selling yarns.

You get all the dreamy softness and luster alpaca is famous for, plus the loft and memory Rambouillet brings to the party—so your stitches look great and stay that way.

And let’s talk about the 4 oz put-up: a gloriously plump, super-squishy ball of yarn that basically begs to be knit immediately. Resistance is futile.
