- Feb 15th 4p-6p PLEASE NOTE THE DIFFERENT TIMING FOR THE FIRST CLASS!
- Feb 22nd 10a-12p

The Rosie Sweater by LE KNIT is an excellent, stylish next step for someone who has already knitted up their first sweater (or first few) and is looking to expand their skills! What better way to tackle color work than with this gorgeous pattern‽
The Rosie is a clever hybrid construction blending a dropped shoulder and raglan, which gives your finished sweater a beautiful fit. The construction also means that despite the color work motif looking complex, it is all worked in the round from the right side of the garment, making it much more approachable!
Work this sweater in the suggested two strands held together for a squishy, soft garment with delicate color work, or use a single strand of DK for crisp detail and a statement piece that you won’t want to take off!
What you need to know and be comfortable completing without help from the instructor (or you're willing to learn before this class): How to knit, purl, knit in the round and in small circumferences, how to work magic loop (if you are going to be using that instead of small circumference needles), knit decreases and increases. We would NOT suggest this class as your first sweater – some familiarity with garment construction is highly recommended!
What you'll learn in this class: How to work stranded color work and read color work charts, drop shoulder/raglan hybrid construction
