Sweater Club 8 – Collins Project Kit
With a simple classic shape and flattering rolled-edge scoop neckline, the Collins sweater is destined to become a well-loved staple in your closet.
We are delighted to introduce this pattern with Studio Blend No. 1 yarn, our luxurious blend of 50% cashmere and 50% yak. The yardage estimate for each kit factors in enough for the garment in the selected size, plus 10% for a 6- to 8-inch swatch and knitter tension variance.
Each Collins Project Kit includes a free digital pattern ($10 value), delivered by email at the time of shipping. The pattern is exclusive to Sweater Club until November 15, 2023.
