Sweaters are characterized by the way the sleeves are joined to the body. In this one-hour class you’ll learn the basics of six sweater types—Circular Yoke, Raglan, Drop Shoulder, Modified-Drop Shoulder, Set-In Sleeve, and Saddle Shoulder.

From the simplest boxy shape to the most tailored silhouette, the construction type influences how a sweater fits the body. Each type lends itself to distinct design possibilities, whether knitted from the bottom up (as in The Knitter’s Handy Book of Sweater Patterns) or from the top down (as in The Knitter’s Handy Book of Top-Down Sweaters), and whether knitted in pieces or seamlessly.

Most knitters run into problems when they aren’t able to “read their knitting”—that is, they can’t recognize where they are in a pattern by simply looking at the stitches on the needles or in the fabric below the needles. How do you tell where you are when you’ve put your knitting down in the middle of row? Can you tell how many rows you’ve knitted since the last increase, or decrease? How do you know what type of increase or decrease was worked? In this class, Ann will examine how the basic stitches look in a piece of knitting and how those stitches are represented in charts.

Too often knitting comes to a screeching halt (usually late at night) when we find mistakes that we’re unable to correct. In this class, Ann will demonstrate fixing common mistakes, including stitch mount, ripping out, picking up single and a series of dropped stitches (including edge stitches), and reversing the direction of a cable or correcting a mistake in a lace pattern several rows below the needles.
