Pengweeno/Penguono with Lia

Pengweeno/Penguono, by the inimitable Stephen West, is such a fun knitting pattern! This fabulous cardigan has a unique look and is a great stash buster. The original Penguono is an adult sized cardigan, and it was so popular that Stephen West also released a child's version, the Pengweeno for newborn - 12 years old. This class will have you ready to embark on either version of this great pattern!
The possibilities for this pattern are endless – so endless in fact, that starting out can feel quite daunting! Not to mention the unusual construction and varied techniques involved in the project. And… if you’re anything like us, scrolling through the over 2500 Penguonos and 1000 Pengweenos on Ravelry only makes it harder, not easier!
In this fun and hands-on class, we will consider gauge and sizing and discuss how to choose your yarn. We’ll review the modular construction method of the pattern and we’ll also make a Pengweeno/Penguono sampler to practice the various techniques of the pattern, including picking up stitches, welts and applied i-cord edging.
By the end of the class, you’ll be feeling confident and ready to get started on this unique pattern and let your creativity come to life!
