🧶 Gramercy Park Video KAL (Knit-Along) 🧶
It’s here! Our latest sweater knit-along features one of my existing patterns: Gramercy Park is an elegant, all over lace garment that is perfect for the spring.
With FOUR yarn choices, there will be a yarn for every price point and fiber preference.
This video sweater class will be full of great tips and tricks from a mini class on yarn substitution, to lace tricks and fixes and all your seaming videos. With sweater modifications, knitting how-to’s and hours of videos you will be able to make your perfect sweater. Change up the size, the length, the neck shaping, the sleeves–you name it!

What skill level is this project? I’m a low intermediate knitter. Thanks! It’s a beautiful sweater and I’d love to create it in a KAL!
Hi. I think things like “skill level” are arbitrary labels that don’t mean much. ANY knitter can accomplish ANY project if they are willing to learn! If you love this sweater, the best way to jump in is with a full video class. It’s just knit, purl, k2tog, ssk, YO. Simple!
Well, I’m IN!
you mentioned on IG to watch the vid on fibre choice if one hasn’t got the yarn yet, where is this video? Please forgive my ignorance.
The video is part of the class. Have you purchased the class yet?
I would love to make this but all the yarn choices have wool, alpaca, or cashmere, all of which I’m allergic to. Are there any other yarn options for it?
I would use the Granville.
