Are you a knitter who’s looking to take your knitting to the next level? Maybe you’ve knit a lot of scarves, cowls and hats, and you’re looking for a more challenging project.

Enter the raglan sweater! The raglan sweater is a great first sweater project. It has a classic, easy fit, is seamlessly constructed and even allows you to try it on as you’re knitting!

You might be intimidated by the idea of a sweater - it’s so big after all! - but the truth is that if you can knit comfortably in the round using circular and double pointed needles, then you have all the skills you need to knit a sweater. Really!

In this extensive two hour class, I'll show you step-by-step how to knit your very first sweater. We’ll go over:

Knitting gauge (super important!)
Choosing needles and yarn
Shaping the neckline
Dividing the sleeves from the body
Customising the body length
Knitting and shaping the sleeves
Creating a neat and even neckline rib
Blocking the sweater for a perfect fit

By the end of the class, you’ll have all the tools you’ll need to knit a classic raglan sweater for yourself or a loved one. This class is for any knitter who wants to move beyond scarves, cowls and hats to the exciting world of sweaters!
