Beginner Sweater Knitting: The Molly Sweater VIRTUAL CLASS

  • Freeman's Creative LLC 2020 Chapel Hill Road #25 Durham, NC, 27707 United States (map)

The Molly Sweater is a simple and classic take on a basic pullover. This design makes a perfect first sweater, but also covers a variety of techniques if you're looking to refine skills and improve fit. The Cocoknits method allows for improved shaping around the neckline and shoulders. Students should be comfortable with knitting, purling, and basic increases and decreases in the round. The class will include an overview of intarsia colorwork, and can be adapted by intermediate knitters for color fades, marling, or the addition of colorwork, lace panels or cables for the adventurous.

Instructor: Amie Palmer
