The Quick Sand cardigan is a garment that will quickly become your favorite go-to piece! This light, yet warm, sweater is the perfect companion for outdoor events, cool evenings, misty mornings, and anytime you need to fend off a chill.
While the garment itself is perfect for any occasion, the best part is that the pattern is great for first-time sweater knitters, as well as more experienced knitters. This cardigan is worked from the top down using a circular yoke construction. This fun construction, combined with a large gauge, makes for a fast and addicting knit.
This class will guide you through the techniques that you need to knit a successful Quick Sand Sweater, including how to read the pattern for your size and how to do the lifted increases, as well as how to do the short rows and finishing techniques.
Cost: $200.00, Class supplies are discounted 10%.
