Winter Quarter Session:

February 2, 9 & 23  6:00-8:00 PM

Note: This class will meet for three sessions, 2 hours each. Please ensure you can attend all sessions before registering!

This class is for Advanced Beginners comfortable with chain stitch and double crochet.

If you have wanted to attempt your first crochet sweater project, this is the perfect opportunity! 

This class will feature My Precious Sweater from By_Katerina. My Precious Sweater is a pullover sweater which is worked seamlessly from the top down. The lovely yoke hides the increases in each row beautifully, making a seamless garment. If you’ve never made a crocheted garment before, you will be fascinated to learn how easy they are to create. I believe you will love the look of your sweater, and you just might find you love the compliments you will receive even more.

Complete a versatile crochet wardrobe piece while learning several skill building techniques:

• Reading a pattern

• The importance of gauge and ease when making a garment

• Top-down sweater construction

• Working stitches in the front and back post of stitches.

• Learn to hide your increases seamlessly

• Various increases and decreases, as well as sleeve options.

There will be some homework to complete prior to the first class as well as between classes. Please keep this in mind when signing up for this class.

Students are provided ample time between classes to accomplish the crochet required so they can be prepared to learn each “next step” without feeling rushed.
