Join our all-star knitting instructor, Dedra, as she walks you through every detail of making your very own sweater. At the end of this class, you'll have a very cute, very sporty pullover that you'll proudly wear everywhere! Class meets five times over the course of seven weeks to knit Varsity Sweater by Lamb & Kid Designs.
Class 1: Starting out right! In this first class, we'll cover the all-important gauge swatch - how to do it right and what to do if you're not getting gauge. We will also discuss different types of sweater construction, top down, bottom up, cardigans and pullovers.
Class 2: All about the yoke. We'll learn how to use short rows to shape the neckline for elegance and a comfortable fit and, at the same time, we'll be working those raglan sleeve increases.
Class 3: Getting to the meat of it. This week we'll tackle the sleeves and body of the sweater. Once your sleeve stitches are secured, cables are adjusted and a few rows are under your belt, it's smooth sailing from here! We'll send you off on a two-week break to knit, knit, knit on your own with the goal of coming back with a completed, bound off sweater body.
Class 4: School's back in session! We'll gather together again and jump in on those sleeves, learning how to shape them, along with strategies for making them the perfect length.
Class 5: Graduation Day! We will finish our sweaters strong and celebrate the big win! We'll talk about finishing techniques and how to care for your handmade heirloom.
Congratulations, you've graduated to Sweater Knitter!
