Step by step Lotus with Suzel, Sarah Bleau Design Pattern
Join us to knit the Lotus sweater by Sarah Bleau Design step by step with Suzel. Make this magnificent sweater of great delicacy and a very feminine style with the foliage detail which gets bigger the more you knit it. A model that will pair perfectly with jeans.
The goal is to knit the same pattern together with the help of Suzel. She guides you and gives tips and tricks for the different techniques used in this pattern. You will learn how a "top\down" pattern works or how to read the lace chart!
The step by step will last 4 weeks, you will be able to find Suzel and Mirelle on Fridays May 17, 24, 31 and June 7 live on our Facebook and YouTube page at 9 a.m.
