This winter, learn how to make a cable sweater! Cable knitting creates twists and braid textures by crossing stitches. These twists and braids create a plush fabric that helps trap in heat, making a warm sweater! Traditionally, these sweaters were popularized in Irish fishing villages, creating unique designs while also making the sweater warmer.

Our experienced instructor, Sarah, will guide you through every step of creating your cable sweater. Class instruction includes how to read a cable chart, German Short Rows, how to knit cables, and instruction on overall construction of your sweater.
