What You'll Learn:
Session 1: Dive Into the Secrets of Garment Patter Reading
You’ll learn how to gauge and fit a knitting garment as well as read the pattern for the class. Then you'll set up the raglan sleeves and begin knitting the raglan rounds which you'll need to complete before the second class.
Session 2: Knitting the Body
During this session, you’ll learn how to divide for the sleeves and begin on knitting the body. Students will need to complete the body before the third class.
Session 3: Picking Up Stitches
You’ll learn how to pick up the underarm stitches without leaving holes in the garment. Once this class is finished you'll complete your sweater at home and then have the option of coming back at an agreed upon time to learn blocking techniques.
