It has been a while! Happy 2022!
I love having simple pieces in my wardrobe that I can pull out and use the majority of the year. This is a great layering piece as well as a transition to the hotter/colder months.
This is a guided, virtual knit-along, not a class. There will be guidance during the Zoom meetings as well as instructional videos available for the tricky bits (nothing is really tricky with this knit, just a lot of fun steps.)
This is a great pattern for advanced beginners through advanced knitters.

Join me in knitting this super versatile piece using either heavy DK or worsted weight yarn. It doesn’t take much yarn, so it’s a great stash buster or a chance to try a yarn you’ve had your eye on.
Layering pieces are my favorite to wear and knit. And Alanis is just that – a cozy sweater tee/vest that’s perfect for layering is an easy knit yet still features a few fun details, such as an icord edge split hem and an inset pocket (with contrasting color pocket lining!).
