By registering, you agree to our and Adult-to-Minor ratio: 1 adult per 2 minors. Please review before booking. Thank you for your support!

Have you already made a scarf and hat and want to take your knitting to the next level? This is a must-have workshop to learn how to make essential wearables like sweaters and vests. We will cover key topics and techniques such as:
- Increasing / decreasing stitches
- Top down vs. bottom-up methods
- The Raglan stitch
- How to shape your wearable
- How to create button holes
- How to customize stitches and pattern to your size

The actual item created will be a mini-sweater or vest that incorporates all the key concepts. It is NOT meant to be wearable for an adult, but serves the purpose of being quick to create and practice on. We will also discuss the measurements needed to create a 'real' garment.
