I knit my first sweater with circular needles
Have you recently started using 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. Grab your needles!
The prerequisites for this course are basic knitting skills: casting on and binding off stitches loosely, 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 use your gauge swatch
– to knit short rows

Please note, technical stitches will be discovered and practiced during the sessions. Part of the knitting will need to be done at home.
The course includes:
- 10 hours of courses spread over 4 sessions with an experienced teacher

The course does not include yarn and needles
