Strathcona Sweater Knitting Kit Pack

Knit Your Own Cosy Classic: The Strathcona Sweater

Meet the Strathcona Sweater, our quintessential raglan knitting kit pack that’s modern, minimalist and utterly timeless. Designed for speed and comfort, this super chunky hand knit kit lets you create a jumper that’s as warm as it is stylish. Perfect for a first sweater project or a slow, meditative knit on a rainy afternoon, it’s a pattern you’ll return to again and again.

Luxurious Yarn, Simple, Seamless Design

We’ve paired this brilliantly easy pattern with gorgeous hand-dyed Malabrigo yarn, incredibly soft, sumptuous, and bursting with colour. The top-down raglan design is seamless, meaning no tricky sewing  -  just knit in the round and watch your jumper take shape effortlessly. Along the way you’ll practice essential skills like casting on, knitting, purling, increases, decreases and picking up stitches. For those feeling adventurous, optional techniques like German short rows and the Italian bind-off add a touch of polish at the neckline.

Whether you’re easing into hand knitting or looking for a satisfying comfort project, the Strathcona Sweater kit gives you everything you need to make a handmade hand knitted jumper that looks and feels like it was made for you. Snuggle into it, gift it, or wear it as your new favourite statement knit  -  you can’t go wrong with this classic!
