In this multi-week sweater knitting class taught by Misti Nolen of Recycled Yarn, you will learn to read a knitting pattern and make the Step by Step Sweater by Florence Miller in a supportive, relaxed environment over 8 weeks (class meets for 2 hours every other week for 4 classes total).
The Step By Step Sweater is a simple raglan sweater with no complicated techniques, perfect as your first garment knitting project. It has a relaxed fit and two options for the neckline.
This sweater also has an associated video demonstrating all the steps in the knitting process.
Students must provide the following materials:
Circular knitting needles: Size US 7 (4.5mm) in 40cm and 80cm lengths
Circular knitting needles: Size US 9 (5.5mm) in 40cm and 80cm lengths
Yarn: 750-1,500 yards of worsted/aran weight yarn, depending on sizing. Email Misti at recycledyarns@gmail.com for help if needed. Your yarn does not have to all be the same color and students are encouraged to use what they have before buying new.
This class combines your existing skills of knitting, purling and increasing (we will go over the specific increases used in this pattern) and is good for anyone who has taken Intro to Knitting and Continued Knitting or who is already comfortable knitting but hasn’t tackled a sweater yet or just wants to knit another sweater while making friends. If you are not yet comfortable with knitting independently, purling and increasing, please take those classes first! You can sign up for our waitlist here.
