Zipper Basket Case – Knitting kit

Intermediate / Uses basic knitting techniques requires experience in following detailed instructions and working with an unconventional construction. Worked from the bottom up, over the shoulders, and down the back in modular knitting. The neckline is picked up and knitted, and the sweater is assembled by knitting the sections together. See Strikkehjelpen for tutorials.

More information about yarn and sizes can be found further down this page.
