3 Month Sweater Workshop: Saturdays, Feb 11-April 21

Cocoknits Sweater Workshop:

Saturdays:  Feb 11&18, March 17&24, April 14&21

3:30 PM – 5:30 PM

In this class, Julie will specifically address the knitted fabric and gauge and how you can make your very own yarns through combining yarns, thus, creating a unique, knitted fabric. You can choose a Cocoknits’ sweater pattern or for the more adventurous, a Habu kit. Also in class, you will learn how to pull the relevant numbers out of the written pattern and plot them onto a spread sheet and use this as your pattern. Once you have learned on this sweater pattern you should be able to transform other patterns.

We will meet over 3 months so you have time to knit in between classes and (hopefully) have a completed sweater by the end!

Prereq: Students should be advanced beginners at least…however, it CAN be your first sweater. Students receive 10% off class materials. 6 sessions / 2 hours each
