What will I learn?

Garment knitting can be daunting. How do you make sure its going to fit? Bottom up or top down? And what are short rows?!

In our jumper knitting garment class you will start right at the beginning. Dani will help you pick a pattern and yarn based on your preferred fit and skill level. She will then walk you though all aspects of the jumper (or other garment of your choice). Skills learned could include,

– choosing the right pattern & materials
– gauge swatches
– picking up stitches
– neck bands
– sleeve construction
– short rows
– sewing up
– pattern reading
– fixing mistakes
– plus anything else that comes up in your chosen pattern

How long is the class?

This jumper knitting class is taught over 6 sessions. Each session is 2 hours long so the total teaching time is 12 hours.
