My First Sweater



Are you a serial scarf-knitter? Interested in tackling a bigger project with some shaping? Try a sweater!

We will be learning to make a top-down seamless sweater (no sewing it all together at the end!). You'll have two weeks between classes to finish your yoke, the second class will get you knitting the body, and lesson three is for sleeves. 

We'll be using Diane Soucy's popular top-down patterns, with a choice of several different weights. Choose a Bulky one for a quicker knit, a finer one for a lighter weight sweater. 

The patterns & Yarn:
#265 Mid Weight Top Down Pullover - DK/Worsted, 20sts = 4" Yarn suggestions: Scout or Arno

#128 Top Down Trapeze Pullover - Worsted/Aran, 18 sts = 4" Yarn suggestions: Malabrigo Rios, Perfection WorstedBerroco Ultra Wool or Ultra Alpaca

#972
4 Top Down Pullover for Women - Aran, 16 sts = 4" Yarns suggestions: Lucky Tweed or Remix

#992 Bulky Neck Down Pullover for Women
 - Chunky, 13 sts = 4" Yarn suggestions: Malabrigo Chunky or Perfection Chunky

#224 Weekend Pullover
 - Super Bulky, 8 sts = 4" Yarn suggestions: Malabrigo Rasta


Note: amount of yarn and needles needed will vary greatly depending on the sweater you choose and the size you're making - talk to us for help.

Another note: to get the most out of the class, please complete your gauge swatch beforehand and come in to the shop to have Reena or Danielle check it for you. If you come on a Wednesday or Saturday you'll find one of them here. Before the first class, you will cast on and knit the neck ribbing on your own. 
For help with any of this, stop by the shop or attend one of our clinics before the class.
