Sailaway: 4-Day Sweater KAL Cast-On Party

  • Lancaster Yarn Shop 3519 Old Philadelphia Pike Intercourse, PA, 17534 United States (map)

Sailaway with LYS & Marie Green at Olive Knits during the 6th annual 4 Day Knitalong! Once again, we're a Featured Vendor, and we're looking forward to knitting along with you!

This year’s sweater is a top-down, seamless cardigan with a round yoke and traditional button bands. It features one main color and two contrast colors. Sailaway features a range of gauge options and plant- based options for those in warmer climates.  

Our shop sample is made with Simplicity from Hikoo Yarns and was worked at the DK gauge. We’ve put together a range of suggested palettes for you, and we encourage you to consider building your own! We stock a wide range of colors in this line! Shop for Simplicity in our online store, or come in during shop hours for expert help!

Calm Seas:
Nile Blue, Silver Hair, White
Stormy: Seattle Sky, Silver Hair, White
No Word for Blue: Forestry, Green Apple, White

Knit a sweater faster than you thought you could with the energy, enthusiasm, and support of LYS and the Olive Knits community.

Sailaway features an easy-to-follow slipped stitch design (no colorwork) to provide quick, satisfying results. Call or stop by the shop to see the sample, for more information and to start choosing yarn for your sweater!
