Description
Have you always wanted to knit a raglan sweater but weren’t sure where to start? This class walks you through knitting your first raglan, from choosing a size and getting the correct gauge to finishing techniques. We will use the Tin Can Knits Flax Sweater pattern (available for free online). This is a great class for those who have never knitted a sweater as well as students who are still early in their sweater knitting adventures.
Supplies (not included in class fee, purchase separately at OLYS after first class session):
• Flax Sweater pattern (available online or in the Tin Can Knits app for free). Students are strongly encouraged to download the free Tin Can Knits app on their phone prior to the first class session.

• Circular needles in size to get gauge. Details to be discussed in first class session.
