First Sweater Class
Instructor: Jennifer Hallan
Our First Sweater class is designed to introduce you to the fundamentals of sweater knitting. This is the perfect class for someone who is comfortable with the basics of knitting and ready to jump into something new!
Together we will knit the Newborn size of the Simple Sweater by Tin Can Knits, a top down circular yoke sweater, and learn the Magic Loop method in the process!
Required skills: Advanced beginner. Pattern reading, casting on, knitting, purling, binding off. We will teach you everything else!
