Knit My First Sweater - Advanced Beginner

This class is perfect for advanced beginners who have already learned to knit and purl, and have mastered the Magic Loop technique - and who want to progress to knitting garments. Experienced knitters who have only ever previously made garments in pieces and would like to try knitting a seamless sweater in the round from the top down will enjoy this class as well.

• You must know how to knit and purl and knit in the round - either the Magic Loop techniquie or using DPNs

Using your 6.5mm, 80cm needles (or double pointed needles if you prefer), cast on 40 stitches using a stretchy cast on like the German Twisted Cast on and join for working in the round.

Round 1: [K1,P1] repeat until the end of the round

Round 2: Repeat round 1 four times

This will create 5 rounds of ribbing and should measure approximately 2.5cm from cast on edge.

Leave your work on the needles and bring them with you on the day.

If you need to purchase materials on the day of your class please arrive 20 minutes early and we’ll help you with your selection.

You’ll receive a 10% discount on any yarn, notions and book purchases you make in store on the day.
