We're thrilled to roll out this year's Super Summer Sweater Make Along! Knitting the perfect summer sweater is only made sweeter by doing it with fiber friends! This is a preorder listing, so your yarn will be dyed to order!
This year, we'll be knitting up the versatile BBT AKA Beautifully Basic Tee. Known far and wide in the Yarny Ewes, this sweater is the ideal pattern for both knitters new to sweaters and those well-versed in garment construction.
This pattern first appeared in the premiere edition of Nomadic Knits and featured Olive & Two Ewe Studios along with other Florida dyers as it was the Florida edition. We're proud of the fact that Olive & Two Ewe yarn was used in the designing of the pattern.
Snag your digital copy of the magazine as it includes this pattern, plus EIGHT other patterns along with other delightful content, making it a fantastic value.
The Beautifully Basic Tee by Melissa Kemmerer is knit up in fingering weight yarn for amazing drape.
We're offering four amazing colorways from which to choose and two bases. Select your colors and base and get ready to knit the perfect summer sweater.
We've listed available sizes and the amount of skeins needed below (for the short sleeved version) for your shopping pleasure! Be sure to double check the math so you can be certain of having sufficient yarn. Ordering at this time means your yarn may not make it to you in time for the KAL to begin, but no worries! You're still prize eligible as no finished object is required and we'll get your kit dyed up ASAP.
The event begins August 9th and ends September 13th, so there will be plenty of time to make great progress on the project! Of course, there WILL be prizes along the way! Plus, we'll be offering weekly videos sharing insights and more along the way.
Don't want to do the BBT, but still want to join in? Simply choose a pattern to your liking and we'll put EWE in the game! Also, if you're set on a colorway that you don't see here, reach out and we'll get an order set up for you!
Please note that this listing is for sweater kits, and you must order a minimum of 2 skeins of a colorway.
