Joji Locatelli – Workshop 1 via Zoom

Wednesday, February 5 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

Sweaters That Fit

Join us in this warm and inclusive workshop where we dive into the world of choosing and customizing sweaters that will bring you true joy after dedicating your time and effort to knitting them. In this class, we will cover a range of essential topics including:

* Selecting the perfect sweater styles and shapes that flatter your unique body type.

* Mastering the art of accurate body measurements to choose the ideal pattern size.

* Customizing sweaters to suit your individual body proportions such as waist length, arm circumference, bust measurement, and hip measurement.

* Adding thoughtful details like bust darts, waist shaping, curved hems, and back length adjustments to ensure a comfortable and flattering fit.

* Guided yarn selection, exploring the right fiber content and yarn qualities for your specific project.

Throughout the workshop, you will have the opportunity to view a variety of carefully crafted sample garments, showcasing different sizes, shapes, lengths, and styles. These examples will inspire you to create your own perfectly tailored knitted masterpieces.
