Knit Other Loops “Flow Loop V Neck” sweater (December-February)
Instructor: Anne Derby
Saturdays: December 5 & 12, 2026, January 9, and February 6, 2027 3 - 5 pm
Join Anne to knit Other Loops' "Flow Loop V Neck," a contemporary cabled pullover. This seamless sweater is worked from the top down, beginning with the saddle shoulders and upper back. From there, you pick up stitches to work the left shoulder and front, then the right shoulder and front, and then you'll join to the back piece to work the body in the round. Lastly, sleeves are picked up from the armhole openings and worked in the round. Anne will guide students through this sweater construction, focusing on fit and finishing, Japanese short rows, and two-stitch cables, rather than teaching basic knitting skills.
Experience: Students should be comfortable knitting in the round and have successfully completed at least one hat or sweater. Students should know how to knit and purl, work basic increases and decreases (k2tog, ssk, M1R, M1L), and be comfortable reading knitting patterns.
Materials needed:
- Pattern: "Flow Loop V Neck" by Other Loops, available as a Ravelry In-Store Pattern sale here at the shop.
- Yarn: worsted weight wool. We recommend De Rerum Natura Gilliatt, Retrosaria Rosa Pomar Brusca, or Isager Soft, for a fuzzier garment. Please see pattern for specific sizes and yardage, and allow extra yardage for a large swatch. Be sure to select your yarn well in advance of class so we can be sure to have the quantity you need! We will cast on and begin knitting our swatches in the first class.
- Needles: please bring a US 7 (or the recommended size to get gauge for your yarn) circular needle either 16 inches long or 32/40” long (for knitting the swatch using magic loop). Once you've determined your gauge, you'll need the following:
- US 7/4.5 mm - 32-40”/80-100 cm circular and preferred needles for small circumference knitting (Magic Loop or Double Pointed Needles).
- Ribbing: US 6/4 mm - 32-40”/80-100 cm circular and preferred needles for small circumference knitting.
- Notions: stitch markers, tapestry needle, row counter (highly recommended), Barber Cords style stitch holders, stitch holders, or waste yarn
All materials available to purchase here at the shop.
