CRIA CARDIGAN WITH JESSICA
Join us as we focus on flattering fit and learn new sweater construction techniques with the Cria Cardigan from innovative designer Ysolda Teague's book "Little Red in the City" (students will need a copy of this book for this class) Cria is a simple design with vintage charm, but the construction and details keep things interesting. The soft drape and A-line shape of this pattern are flattering on all body types and is easily customized. This class is recommended for Advanced Beginner through Intermediate students who are interested in learning custom fitting techniques for more successful sweaters. Homework: Students will need to make a block and hang their swatch per instructions in the pattern, using their favorite yarn. Please bring to the first class.
