So Basic Sweater

Join Derek to knit the So Basic Sweater by Maxim Cyr.

The So Basic Sweater is an approachable top-down raglan sweater. A simple sleeve pattern is incorporated into this simple but classic sweater. An optional pocket can be sewn on afterwards to add some pop to your sweater.

Students should bring a completed gauge swatch to the first class in order to adjust needle sizes if necessary.
