Alanis

$7.00

Layering pieces are my favorite to wear and knit. And Alanis is just that – a cozy sweater tee/vest that’s perfect for layering, is an easy knit yet still features a few fun details, such as an icord edge split hem and an inset pocket (with contrasting color pocket lining!). Check out photos of finished Alanis tops here!

Want step-by-step video lessons for this design? Enroll in the Alanis course on my learning platform. It’s a go-at-your-own pace online course that guides you through every step of making Alanis (so it’s especially perfect for newer garment knitters!). Click here for all of the details (note: pattern is included with the course).
