Costa Maya KAL with Patty Lyons

WEBS is excited to be the official yarn vendor for the next Patty Lyons knit-along / video sweater class:

Costa Maya KAL (Knit-Along)

Costa Maya is a long, open cardigan with eye-catching lace detail on the back and sleeves.

The pattern comes with sweater modifications for making different sleeve lengths and for knitting with a different gauge. There is also a wool version with straight sleeves in all stockinette.

This pattern comes in 10 sizes and with the video sweater class you get your pattern (fully written and charted) along with hours of video instruction on lace, fit, and all your sweater skills.

The video class will be hosted on Patty Lyons' education platform. There will be discussion boards, quizzes and lots of help and interaction.
