How to Knit a Pullover

–
Learn how to knit a pullover from A to Z!

During this course we’ll show you practically how to start and complete a simple sweater.

We’ll carefully walk you through the whole process of making a sweater: from measuring swatches and calculating gauge, to knitting back, front and sleeves, picking up stitches and working a neck band.

We’ll review cast on and bind off methods, increasing and decreasing, blocking and seaming techniques for a perfect finish.

Please keep in mind: Most of us lead a very busy life, with little or no time during working-days to fully commit to a large project. For this reason, we will be teaching you the principles of sweater knitting – which you will be able to adapt easily to future projects – by making a children’s pullover.

Important – please bring along with you (necessary to start working on the sweater):

• Three blocked swatches (15 x 15 cm) made with the yarn of your choice. Please keep in mind that yarns with long hair and textures will make corrections more difficult. We suggest using three different needle sizes (E.g: 4 mm, 4.5 mm, 5 mm) in order to test the fabric’s drape. Check the supplier’s tag and look for the suggested needle sizes.
• Additional yarn for the project (between 300 and 400 g)
Knitting needles (straight, cable or interchangeable, all three sizes you used to make your swatches)
• Measuring tape and/or ruler
• Black pencil and eraser
• Notebook
• Calculator
• Crochet hook to fix knitting mistakes
• Yarn scissors

* Please show your KulturLegi card to the course director prior to the start of the course.
