I knit my first sweater with circular needles
Have you recently taken up circular needles and want to start your first sweater with them? Do you want to start your first knitted garment? We designed this workshop for you. We will knit your first sweater together! Whether you want to knit it for yourself, another adult, or a child. Get your needles ready!
The prerequisites for this course are to have the basics of knitting: casting on and binding off stitches softly, knit stitch and purl stitch
During this 10-hour course, you will learn:
– to discover or practice mastering circular needles
– to knit a seamless sweater in the round, from the collar down to the bottom of the garment
