Pattern: Monday Sweater by PetitKnit

Learn all about top-down garment knitting, knitting in the round and all the techniques to feel confident with this style of knitting. Across four sessions, you can choose to make either a women’s or child-sized sweater using the Monday Sweater by PetiteKnit.

In a supportive group environment, we’ll cover all the key elements of top-down garment knitting: getting started, knitting in the round, yoke increases, short rows and separating for sleeves. Guided by our teacher Chris, you’ll create a garment to wear and love. And starting from the top means you can knit in the round, try on as you go, and there’s no sewing up at the end!

You’ll have time between classes to work on your Monday Sweater, before coming back together to share your progress. So if you’ve been keen to step into the world of garment knitting, or you’ve knit lots of garments but just never top-down, then this class is for you!

This class is suitable for anyone with base-level knitting skills (knit, purl, cast on).

Action Required:

Students need to purchase their own copy of either the Monday Sweater pattern by PetiteKnit (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/monday-sweater-2) or the Monday Sweater Junior (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/monday-sweater-junior)
Students need to bring their own supplies, including sufficient yarn for the pattern and the corresponding needles (as outlined in the pattern)
Prior to the first class, students should knit (and block) a swatch (approx. 10cm x 10cm). This will be used in the first class to discuss gauge, sizing and needle selection.
