Intro to First Sweater

What to Expect

This will be a multi-week intro class for the first four sessions, participants should plan on being able to attend at least the first four sessions, and at least five of the next sessions. The next seven sessions will be running along with a My First Sweater Knit-A-Long. We are trying something new and designing this to be a long term class to get people into their first garment knit! There will be a separate "My First Sweater Knit-A-Long" that will be an option for people who have already taken an intro class, or have already made other small projects, and feel ready to make their first sweater! The intro portion of the class will cover all of the knitting basics: casting on, knitting, purling, casting off, increases and decreases, ribbing, and some brief mistake troubleshooting tips. The sweater patterns suggested are free patterns for Raglan Sweaters, if there is another pattern you wish to purchase, you may, but these are highly recommended for first sweater patterns. - Step by Step Sweater by Florence Miller - Roomy Raglan - Jules Efterfield Materials for the intro portion can be borrowed for the class.
