Zodiac Sweater Kit

The Zodiac Sweater designed by Erika Knight is a pullover full of interest and elegance. Knit in luxurious Road to China Light, the Zodiac Sweater is a glamourous addition to an evening outfit, or a luxurious treat to wear for yourself at home. The sweater features a cable that begins at a split hem and traverses the sweater to the neck, dividing the sweater between a wide rib and textured rib pattern.

The Zodiac Sweater is the first pattern from The Almanac Series II, a seasonal guide to knitting with The Fibre Co. yarns.

The last days of summer are celebrated in our Yarn of the Month for August, Road to China Light. This silky smooth sport-weight yarn has rich, jewel-bright tones perfectly evoking the last, and brightest of the summer floral bouquets.
