The Weekender Light by Andrea Mowry
$9.00
The Weekender, originally designed for worsted weight yarn and released a few years ago, is Andrea Mowry's popular pattern to date and has now been released in a lighter weight version! While these 2 patterns are very similar, The Weekender Light has been adjusted for its very different gauge and with a larger range of size options. The Weekender Light is available in 10 sizes, is knit up in super fine weight yarn and has a few adjustments that I hope will result in another favorite sweater for your handknit wardrobe!
Kit includes pattern and selected yarn. Sizes with similar skein counts have been combined for kit purposes only. Pattern includes all 10 sizes. For yarn winding services, click here. Please PRE-ORDER any color not in stock, and allow at least 7 business days for shipping to your location.
