Express Yourself Sweater
The Express Yourself Sweater is perfect for anyone wanting to try their hand at a colorwork, top down yoke style sweater. It’s knit with our Serenity Boucle yarn, a lightweight merino/nylon blend with a cool, stubby texture. This style is perfect for beginner knitters. Looking to tackle colorwork for the first time, let’s conquer it together with this design.
If you purchase the video class on our site, I’ll guide you through every step of how to make the sweater from start to finish.
