Novice Sweater
If you are new to sweater making or just want to refine your sweater making skills…this class is for you. We will discuss choosing the right size, ease, choosing the right yarn, how to determine your gauge and swatch for the best outcome, and then go on to knit a top down pullover or cardigan. The patterns chosen are a great entry to sweater making without seaming.
Required skills: This is NOT a Learn to Knit class. It's advanced beginner.
You must come with basic skills but you do not have to have made a sweater previously. Required are casting on, knitting, purling, knitting in the round. If you have completed Beyond the Basics at our shop you can move onto this class.
