Class Details:

This is a two-part class. Both sections of the class will automatically be placed in your cart when you select one of the sessions.

Knit a cute mini troi vest and learn about this unique Estonian fisherman colorwork sweater from the island of Kihnu. You’ll learn lots of skills in this workshop, from Kihnu vits knitted braids to the use of steeks for seamless in-the-round construction. We will even cut 3 mini steeks, for the armholes and neck, with the help of crochet reinforcement. This is the perfect workshop if you’ve had the Saar vest or Troi sweater patterns on your to-knit list.

Technique Requirements: knit/purl, cast on/bind off, increase/decrease, working in the round, chart reading, easy colorwork
