Reitti Sweater Knitting Kit
Reitti is a boxy colourwork sweater featuring simple shapes and motifs, easy-to-knit repeats and no long floats. It is knitted seamlessly from the top down in the round with Laine x Novita DK and features a round yoke.
This knitting kit includes all the yarn required to knit the Reitti sweater in your chosen colourway. Simply select your size to receive the correct amount of yarn. Please refer to the Description tab for guidance on choosing your size.
The pattern offers multiple ways to customise, with two options for both body and sleeve length, plus optional short rows for a looser fit around the chest. This knitting kit is for the longer option of the sweater; you can adjust yarn amounts in the cart before you make a puchase.
Please note: The knitting pattern is not included in this kit. It is available in the Laine Anniversary Issue, sold separately.
