Sideways Sweaters
Whether you’re looking to bring some variation to your sweater knitting or an easy construction method for your first sweater project, sideways sweater construction is for you!
This class covers the theory of different sideways construction methods (cuff to cuff, sleeves to center, center- out, or a mixed approach) and explains the design possibilities. It also includes a modular pattern recipe you can use to create your own custom design!
In class, we’ll knit a cute miniature sideways sweater to get more familiar with the sideways construction method and its peculiarities.
