Strathcona Sweater(February)

The Strathcona Sweater is a funnel necked sweater in a raglan style. It is fun to knit with super bulky yarn. The pattern is for cropped shaping and 3/4 sleeves, however you can customize to your personal preference. The choice is yours and so easy to customize. Try on sample at the shop (S/M) and go from there to make your modifications.

Students will learn long tail cast on with circular needles, Basic 1 x 1 ribbing, Make 1 left (M1L) and make one right (M1R) increases. Students who sign up should have completed Learn to Knit - or have experience with basic knitting skills.
