My First Sweater (Session 1)
So nice we are offering it twice!
You can knit a sweater! We will knit a top down, seamless raglan pullover called Southwood by Galt House of Yarn. In addition to instruction in person, you will receive instructional videos after every class to guide you through every step. The pattern has sizes from newborn to adult 5XL. Students are encouraged to knit an infant or child’s size to speed them through each step.
You will receive more information and a link to the pattern in your confirmation email.
This class will meet twice. In the first session you will cast on and work the yoke increases. In the second session you will separate the sleeves from the body and work the body and sleeves.
