Knitting Sweaters That Fit

Course Number: ARTS1544

Please note: This course is not suitable for beginner knitters. Sweater-knitting experience is not necessary. Instruction is suited to knitters with basic knitting skills and previous experience working from a pattern. Participants should be able to work knit, purl, increases, and decreases.
A comfortable hand-knitted sweater that fits is one of the most satisfying projects a knitter can make. Instruction will enable you to undertake the task of knitting your first sweater, or perhaps your first sweater that fits well. Working through a sweater pattern of your choice, learn what steps make the difference to getting the best sweater for you and the pattern style: finding gauge, taking measurements and applying them to a pattern schematic, making your own dress form. A series of advanced knitting techniques including working cables, increases and decreases, stranded colour-work, and how to read and interpret patterns will also be addressed. Your sweater will be partially finished during the course but completed at home.
