Meet Zadie: The Star of Our New YouTube Knit-Along

The Zadie Sweater is making a lot of noise around these parts. So when we found out it was the star of the new YouTube knit-along, well… we got pretty excited!

Zadie Knit Sweater

Shown here in the kettle-dyed Moonlight colorway (Cloudborn Highland Worsted), this relaxed, raglan design by Mercedes Tarasovich is an easy fit for all body types — not to mention it’s a great pick for folks who’ve never knit a sweater. And it’s completely seamless, for all of you who hate the “f word”… you know, finishing.

Jodi and Tracie in Their Zadie Sweaters

Best of all, the sister-hosts of Off Our Needles, Jodi and Tracie, are making Zadie the star of the show for their Sweet Summer Knit-Along! So even if you’ve never knit a sweater, it’s the perfect time to try. Don’t worry: You won’t be the only one sweater newbie in this Knit-Along — it’s Jodi’s first time too.

The new season of Off Our Needles starts today, and the show has four different Knit-Along episodes slotted for the season. By the time your sweater is finished, you’ll have tackled knitting in the round, short rows, cables and more — all with a little help from our favorite knitting duo and your fellow knit-alongers (or should that be knitters-along?).

Shop the Kit

If you don’t have a set of circular needles, you’ll need those too. We’d recommend Clover’s Takumi Bamboo needles. The lightweight bamboo won’t strain your hands as much, which is a great for all those stitches.
