A three part workshop, once monthly, to construct a jumper with a lace pattern. The garment will be knitted in the round, using circular needles, from the top down. This course is suitable for those who are novice/intermediate knitters, and are comfortable with cast on/off, knit and purl, and following a pattern. All necessary techniques will be taught.

  • Choice of yarns to achieve gauge.

  • Following graphs for lace designs.

  • Short rowing.

  • Provisional cast on.

  • Personalising design elements.
