Description

This is an in-person class at Fuzzy Goat! Please review ourclass policiesbefore enrolling.Adults only please

We saw Caitlin Hunter’s Sitzmark on Instgram and knew we had to make it! Cadence, Melissa and Madelyn all started plotting and Melissa immediately thought of offering a class! Inspired by vintage ski sweaters and named for the iconic slope-side bar/restaurant at Alyeska, this yoke sweater is knit in DK weight. Sitzmark is also a word for the depression, hole, or indentation left by a skier falling backward in the snow! 😉 A great first colorwork project.

Sitzmark is knit from the top down in the round featuring short row shaping for the back neck and a bold yoke motif and colorwork sleeve details.

Come and talk yarn with Melissa to make your best choice
