Learn the magic of intarsia colorwork with the adorable Make Myself Flowers vest! This simple-to-knit vest makes a great introduction to a new technique that can be applied to almost any knitted garment for extra color in your life.
Our experienced instructor, Jacqui, will guide you through every skill required to make this vest, with helpful tips along the way.
In this class, each week progresses to the next step outlined by the instructor. This class includes “homework” that will need to be done outside of class for the next session. Any missed classes will need to be made up during the week, before the next class.
This workshop has a 4 person minimum.

IMPORTANT: Vexnot Studios recommends 4 & 4.5 mm needles, but I am recommending 5.5 & 6 mm needles as the designer is quite a loose knitter.
