Weekday Courses
5-day Knit Garment Construction
In this course, you will learn to knit a top of your own design.
On day 1, we discuss the design of your knit top, choose yarns and develop stitch techniques. We recommend bringing your favourite top/vest which has the shape you'd like to copy.
With the garment you bring, you will learn how to measure the garment, calculate the stitches and rows needed from a tension swatch, shape curves using decreases and holding position, and practice trims.
We then knit the garment using your custom pattern, wash, block, and steam the knitted pieces, and link/assemble it on the knitting machine.
Please bring a garment the shape you'd like to copy.
