Alanis

Layering pieces are my favorite to wear and knit. And Alanis is just that - a cozy sweater tee/vest that's perfect for layering, is an easy knit yet still features a few fun details, such as an icord edge split hem and an inset pocket (with contrasting color pocket lining!). > Looking for step-by-step video lessons > for how to make your own Alanis? > Consider enrolling in my Alanis > virtual course!
