Name
The Geometry of Sleeves: Set-In Sleeves
Teacher
Natalie Warner
Class Description
In this class you will be introduced to the principles for drafting a set-in sleeve. With contextual examples, reference to body measurements, and demonstration from the tutor, you will be guided through the process of drafting a sleeve to fit the armhole and the wearer, shown how to check the fit of your sleeve head using a calculator, and receive pointers on finishing directions.
Part of the advance reading will include notes on design and styling for those interested in creating their own garment patterns. For those who attended, this will include a recap of the sleeves lecture given during October 2020’s VKL. You do not need to do any knitting in preparation for this class, but you are welcome to bring along your own projects, use your personal body measurements for calculations, or refer to an existing pattern to support your learning. And afterwards you can have a go at knitting a mock-up of the pattern you draft in class!
Please note that this class is now offered in two parts based on student feedback; this is to allow more time for calculations and worked examples. Previous attendees at VKL in January and April 2021 do not need to retake the course.
