Jay Sweater

Description

Session Dates & Times:
January 14th, February 11th, March 11th, and April 8th (if additional help is needed) – 10:30am

About this class:

Jay is worked seamlessly in the round from the top-down. The body and sleeves are separated at the armhole. The neckline and sleeve cuffs are worked in the contrast color. Named after forest-dwelling jays, this slightly cropped sweater subtly nods to the patterning on their plumage. Perfect for those curious knitters seeking to boost their colorwork confidence, this straightforward pullover would be a great first yoked sweater.

This class will meet once a month and is broken out into manageable chunks of homework, giving you plenty of time to work on your project between sessions without fear of getting too far behind or not being able to keep up.
