Instructor: Katherine Berdy
Dates: September 21st & 28th, October 19th, and November 9th. Class dates are spread out to give you time to knit.
There are two series of dates available for this class on Mondays- a daytime (1-2:30 PM) or nighttime class (5:30-7 PM). Please choose what class time you would like in the dropdown below for registration.
Prerequisites: Confident casting on, off, knitting, and purling.
Join Katherine Berdy to knit the Hack It Jacket designed by Nina Ruth, a modular pattern that allows you to make your dream cardigan by mixing and matching different techniques and design details provided in the pattern to “hack” a base cardigan.
This is a four day workshop where you’ll learn a wide variety of essential garment knitting techniques that will make you a more confident knitter.
Here are some of the hacks included in the pattern for customization:
-Changing yarn and gauge
-Adding cables
-Altering the sleeves, neckline, body, edge finishings, closures, and length of your cardigan
-Adding texture, stripes, or pockets to your cardigan
Sizing
Please note that while this pattern as written has a fairly narrow range of finished chest measurements (42”-53”), part of the class (and discussed using charts within the pattern) is learning how to manipulate gauge to knit outside of the allotted size range. If you need a finished chest measurement smaller or larger than listed, we will show you how to make this pattern in a size that feels right for you. All bodies are welcome!
Workshop Overview
Prior to Class:
If you have a yarn or yarns that you would like to incorporate into your project, please go ahead and make a swatch (knitted flat, not in the round) to bring to class. Unsure what to do? Please read this Brooklyn Tweed tutorial. We will discuss swatching in depth during the workshop.
Purchase the Hack It Jacket pattern off of Ravelry and have it printed, available on a tablet, or on your phone for easy access during class.
Class One (September 21st):
Homework: Create gauge swatches and figure out the fabric you would like to make for your project. Purchase your yarn if you haven’t during class one.
Class Two (September 28th):
Homework: Knit through the yoke of your sweater and apply techniques learned where needed.
Class Three (October 19th):
