Three-session class:
Tuesday 6-8 pm- May 13, May 27, June 24**
Wednesday 9:30-11:30 am, May 14, May 28, June 25**
** The June sessions are scheduled further out so students can make more progress on their projects. Students will bring projects in any state of completion and will have the opportunity to get instruction on finishing, final alterations, etc.
Students will choose a pattern from this Ravelry bundle: https://www.ravelry.com/bundles/summer-top-down-tees or can choose a different pattern as long as it is knit top down. Construction can be yoke, raglan, or even a sweater that is knit flat to the armholes and then joined for in-the-round. All variations and their relative strengths and weaknesses will be discussed in class.
Specific class topics: Sizing for personalized fit, customizing patterns with color, adding lace to a design, and adding sleeves to a sleeveless design. We will also touch on finishing techniques including adding a high-low hem to the bottom of a sweater using German Short Rows.
Prerequisites: Students should be familiar with basic top-down sweater construction and working in the round. Students choosing a design with lace should have some experience with knitting lace. This is an Advanced Beginner/Intermediate class.
Materials will vary, students can receive a 10% discount on project materials including Ravelry purchase when available. Online purchase discounts will be applied as a refund.
