December 7, 6:30 - 8:30 pm

Sweater Class 3.0! This is our third session of our popular sweater class with limited space! Confident knitters can choose a knit sweater pattern from the following list and we will work through it together in five sessions (see suggestions below). We will go over measuring the body, choosing a size, and all of the basic skills for making a sweater (raglan increases, German short rows, picking up sleeves, and more!) 

Please plan on bringing your own yarn and needles to work with based on your pattern - we can help you figure this out in advance or confirm what is needed night one. Plus needle size to match gauge.

You may also need a set of stitch markers, scrap yarn or extra cords for holding stitches, a pair of scissors or snips, and a tapestry needle.

Pattern List - Pullover Only!
