How to Fit Your Knits
January 4 - February 4

In this four-week class, you will learn how to examine any printed knitting pattern, knit flat or in the round, whether top down, or bottom up, and determine whether its shaping will work for you. You will learn to add custom shaping, based on your own body measurements (or those of any friend or family member) to any commercial knitting pattern. This is not a “design your own sweater” class, but you will learn the fundamentals of fit, shaping, taking proper figure measurements, and doing the math that will help you to create knitted garments that actually fit.
