Beginner Top Down Sweater Survey, class 1

  • Ewetopia 102 S. Main St VIroqua, WI 54665 United States (map)

Every January Ewetopia hosts a Topdown Sweater Knitalong- it’s great fun while being greatly productive! But if you are brand new to sweater making you might not feel confident enough to jump in (although many people are making their first sweaters quite successfully)

This class is an introduction to two very popular forms of topdown sweater making - the raglan and the circular yoke - by making the yokes of two baby sweaters. What if you don’t have a baby to knit for? I recommend using this class as a learning experience, even if you only knit to the underarms, and then tear it out. If you have been putting off making a sweater for yourself, it’s a great way to understand the technique without committing large amounts of time and money.

The first class we’ll tackle raglan shaping, the second circular yokes, and the third week covering any problems and strategizing sizing, yarn, and Ravelry - basically how to choose a great pattern!

Cost for three weeks $45. Bring worsted weight yarn and needles.
