Knitting patterns can be quite vague, sweater patterns most of all. This class is all about helping you manage some of the more challenging parts of garment knitting. We’ll talk about the key decision to make before you begin: choosing which size to make. We’ll review key finishing tasks: blocking, seaming, setting in sleeves, and picking up neckline stitches. And we’ll share tips for dealing with vague and unclear instructions. There is homework for this class; in addition, please bring any garment patterns or projects you need help with.
Technique Requirements: cast on, knit and bind off
