The Vanilla Sweater is designed using Rauma Finullgarn which is one of our favorite yarns in all the world. Created from 100% wool from Norwegian sheep and woollen spun in Norway, this yarn is light and warm, but at the same time is a hardy workhorse yarn, meaning it will last for years and get better with age. We’ve selected our best selling colors for you to choose from so it’s a low risk decision and you can’t go wrong.

Video Lessons include:
- Shaping the neck and setting up raglan increases
- Joining in the round
- Dividing for sleeves
- Preparing for and Create Split Hem
- Joining the sleeves
- Picking up stitches for basic neckband
- Creating Picot neckband (optional)
- Edging and finishing options
- Closing holes at sleeves join
Better than a Class! I loved this video. Who wouldn't want a private lesson with Corinne? I watched the video as I cast on for the sweater KAL and it gave me incentive to knit till I had completed each section that she covers in an episode. The camera was up close. Corinne took her time, made mistakes, fixed them extemporaneously all the while explaining and giving hints. -Molly
