DIY Kit - Like a Bird - Dream (Merino Worsted)
DIY Kit - Like A Bird
This beginner-friendly jacket only uses the knit stitch! The body is knit flat in one piece. Stitches for the sleeves are picked up from the body and worked in the round to the cuff. Stitches for the neckband are picked up from the body and worked flat. Once the complete, fringe is cut and added as desired.
Dream is our new name for Merino Worsted yarn. Though the name is different and we have a new palette of color offerings, nothing else about Dream has changed: it is the same yarn you know and love!
