Instructor: Katherine Applegate

Saturdays: February 15, March 1, 22, and April 26, 2025; 3:30-5:30 pm

Join Katherine’s class to knit a top-down colorwork pullover! Choose from fingering weight "saskie" or DK weight "floe jumper," both designed by thepetiteknitter, knit in the round with seamless construction and an engaging colorwork yoke. Both patterns come in ten adult sizes with customization options for both body length and sleeve length.

Class will cover optional modification to the ribbing, optional short rows to improve shoulder shaping, adjusting fit of sleeves, and blocking.

Experience: Knitters should be comfortable casting on, knitting and purling in the round, working with two colors, counting stitches and rows, and reading a basic pattern chart. Some sweater knitting experience would be helpful, but is not required.
