This is a virtual course, with sessions held on Zoom. All sessions are recorded and will be available to you for an unlimited time.
The samples I make of my yoke sweater patterns are all knit using a basic pattern template that I drafted for my own measurements and fit preferences. In fact, the template for knitting the sweater is so familiar to me now, that I use a personalized schematic labelled with pertinent stitch and row/round counts, design elements, etc. that are based on the written pattern template.
This course is all about doing the same thing for you!
Using your measurements and fit preferences, I will teach you how to draft a yoke pattern template for yourself that you can use along side any yoke pattern to create a sweater that fits you well every time. We'll be breaking the process down into tiny steps so that you fully understand each element before we move on to the next one.
Learn how to draft a circular yoke sweater to your measurements! By the end of this course, you will have a base pattern that you can apply any yoke design to.
In this course, you will learn:
- all about yoke construction
- how to apply ease to your measurement to get a great fitting yoke sweater
- how to shape the yoke
- how to apply colour work to the yoke, to the hem and cuffs, or throughout the sweater
- how to shape the body to your fit preferences
- how to shape the sleeves in a number of ways
- best finishing techniques for your sweater
