Design Your Own Colorwork HYBRID

THIS IS AN ADD-ON SESSION for the Colorwork Yoke Sweater class

Let's knit a classic colorwork yoke sweater, customized for you! This class will cover designing your own yoke using the Strange Brew formula from Tin Can Knits. We will create our own charts, select colors, and do some sweater math. Come with yarn or use this class to select your yarn. Students should have experience knitting colorwork in the round.

Instructor: Rachel Offerdahl
