Cocoknits Sweater Club: Ruth ⭐

Instructors: Jennifer Hallan & Claire Wood

Cocoknits Sweater Club is a guided KAL—part class, part KAL, all fun! This KAL will take place in person over twelve sessions through February!

Together we will make the Ruth sweater from Cocoknits. Ruth strikes the balance between sophistication and comfort. It’s a straightforward Cocoknits method pattern with an incorporated collar, but the magic happens when you cross the front collar stitches, transforming it into a streamlined shawl collar pullover. Side vents add to the ease and wearability of the sweater. Choose a scrumptious yarn and let Ruth envelop you like a hug!

Jennifer and Claire will help you knit a sweater that fits your body, using your gauge, body measurements, and personal sweater preferences.

**If you've already knit the Cocoknits Method and would like to choose another sweater, feel free to pick another Cocoknits pattern for Sweater Club**

Please note: This is not an opportunity to learn to knit or make a sweater for the first time. Check out our classes for our Introduction to Knitting and First Sweater classes.

FAQ

Are there prerequisties for the KAL?

Yes! Participants should have knit a sweater before, but it doesn't not have to have been a Cocoknits sweater.

What is the Cocoknits Method?

The Cocoknits Method was developed by Julie Weisenberger. It is a top-down knitting method that incorporates increases at specific intervals to create 3 dimensional shaping that doesn’t require seaming when you’re done. The neck, shoulders, and yoke are created together, so the shaping is softly sloped to hug the body in a flattering way, rather than squared pieces sewn together which turn out too boxy.

Who should try the Cocoknits Method?

If you've successfully knit a sweater, but have felt like it never fits you the way you want it to, you should definitely try the Cocoknits Method!

What do I get for the registration fee?

The registration fee covers access to all twelve gatherings, and assistance from Jennifer and Claire at those gatherings.

Who is Julie Weisenberger?

Julie learned to knit in Europe and ran a small sweater company that sold to boutiques across the United States. Now her main focus is on designing for hand-knitters of all shapes and sizes using many of the techniques she learned in Europe and the ready-to-wear industry.

Julie has perfected the top-down, seamless method using English tailoring, which creates a flattering and perfectly fitted set-in sleeve sweater. Her simple silhouettes combined with fine yarns result in elegant, wearable designs for knitters of all abilities. In addition to designing, she develops knitting tools based on real-life experience—designed for knitters by a knitter.
