Ranunculus Knit Top Class

Learn to knit the Ranunculus this New Year! Shop owner and instructor, Shelly Diaz guide us in learning how to knit this popular pattern by Midori Hirose.

Ranunculus is a top-down round yoke pullover with lace and textured stitches. You can choose from smaller or wider neckline, and short sleeves or long puff sleeves with/without diagonal cuff line.

You can use lace, light fingering to worsted weight yarn. The degree of transparency depends on the weight of yarn. Knitting with thin yarn on big needle gives light, transparent and airy texture to this pullover. Using thicker yarn or holding two yarns together adds more weight, and more structured look.

The class will be a total of 4 sessions.
