THIS CLASS MEETS ON BOTH SATURDAY AND SUNDAY for the first two sessions.

The Design session is a seperate class in advance of this class. If you want to design your own yoke, or have a session where you select your colors and make sure they work together, join the Design session!

Let's knit a classic colorwork yoke sweater, customized for you! This class has a "choose your own adventure" element, with the option to design your own yoke using the Strange Brew formula from Tin Can Knits, or their Dog Star pattern. We will cover finding your gauge, stranded colorwork, and construction techniques for top-down sweaters. Students should be comfortable knitting and purling in the round, and reading a pattern.
