Flax by Tincanknits (Pattern will be provided in class).
Flax is a raglan-sleeve, knit in the round unisex sweater with a simple construction and a textured sleeve to keep things interesting. Size options range from baby, child, teen to adult. Flax is originally a worsted weight sweater, but if you prefer a lighter, fingering weight version, you can choose Flax Light for the class. Just let us know when you check out which version of the pattern to provide for class.
