Making a Sweater That Fits

Date/Time: Saturday November 2nd, 10:00 am - 12:50 pm

Required Skills: Knitting, purling, basic increasing and decreasing
or Half double crochet, basic increasing and decreasing

Whether you knit or crochet, the process for getting the right fit in a garment is the same. We will start with a basic pattern and determine the right size to follow by taking personal measurements, making and reading a swatch, and adjusting needles and hooks for a perfect fit.

Homework: If desired, choose one of the patterns from the materials list or choose one of your own. Make a 4”x4” gauge swatch as described in the pattern. Bring your swatch blocked to class.
