Knit Your Sweaters To Fit YOU, Not the Pattern-Model


Full Description

We'll go through the basics of fit; how to determine what actual measurements the pattern will yield; and how to modify the pattern to ensure your best fit.

 

Will also include the theory behind bust-darts and some practical mechanics of how to add them at an existing pattern.

 

If there's time, we can also measure each other!

 

Skills Needed

Must know how to knit and have a desire to knit garments.  Also helpful to know rudimentary math (particularly, algebra), but not necessarily required.

 

Materials Needed 

Bring a notepad and writing implement - you'll want to take notes, as I won't have handouts!  Also, if you want to be measured, bring a measuring-tape.

 

If you want to, feel free to bring in a garment or two you've already knit, about which you're unsatisfied with the fit.  Also, if you have a pattern in mind but you're unsure it will fit or be flattering, bring it in and we can troubleshoot it together.
