Learn how to knit eyelets and cables in this Summer Sweater workshop, featuring the Salty Days Sweater by Veronika Lindberg. This engaging pattern uses simple techniques to create a loose and textured fabric. It’s perfect for creating a light sweater for a year round staple.
Our experienced instructor, Sarah, will guide you through the many techniques used to make this sweater, including, short rows for construction, eyelets, cables, and how to read a knit chart, 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.
