Our next KAL lets you choose any size Wallaby you want because the pattern has size ranges from 2 all the way up to super sized adult. The Wallaby design by Carol Anderson of Cottage Creations is a truly universal pattern for the whole family. If you don’t already have a copy of the pattern, you can purchase one on the first night. 
In case you haven’t heard about the Wonderful Wallaby, it is a one piece raglan sleeve pullover knitted from the bottom up. You can make it with a hood or a collar and with or without a front pouch. It is knit with worsted weight yarn using circular needles and is an adventure in seamless knitting. The skills you will learn in this 4 week KAL are:

- Picking up stitches
- Color changes in the round, optional
