It's a chance to build real garment-making skills at a relaxed pace, with time to knit between sessions and the encouragement of working alongside other knitters on the same project. This isn't a learn-to-knit class – it's for knitters who are ready to take on their first sweater, or their next one, with an experienced guide beside them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo what makes Ranunculus so special? With more than 37,000 projects made by knitters around the world, it's easy to see why this modern classic by Midori Hirose has become one of the most loved sweater patterns ever published. Its beautifully textured yoke, relaxed oversized silhouette and remarkable versatility mean it can be knitted in everything from laceweight to worsted yarn – choose a fine yarn for a light, airy and softly transparent garment, or something thicker for a cosier, more structured finish. It's a sweater that can look completely different depending on your yarn, and that freedom is a big part of its magic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorked seamlessly from the top down and in the round, it's a rewarding make for knitters ready to stretch their skills.
