2-Part Workshop
Duration: 2 hours
Date: Friday 4th October & Friday 25th October
Time: 6 pm - 8 pm
Learn all about top-down garment knitting and feel confident to make your very own top/sweater. 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!
Across two sessions we’ll cover all the key elements of top-down garment knitting: getting started, knitting in the round, yoke increases and separating for sleeves. Bring along a top-down pattern of your choice and you can get started on your very own garment to wear and love. There will be time between the two classes to work on your own project before coming back together to share your progress and continue on your way.
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).
