Lettuce Hem Cardigan Workshop
Lettuce Hem Cardigan Workshop
Saturdays, October 25, November 1, 8, 15, & 22
12pm - 1pm
Led by Jacqui Valdez
Learn all the skills to knit the beautiful Datura Cardigan! This sweet cardi features flared sleeves finished with a lettuce hem and a tie-front closure — the perfect compliment to a dress or jeans! Choose between a smooth yarn for a statement cardigan or a mohair or other halo yarn for an ethereal look.
Our experienced instructor, Jacqui, will guide you through every step including sizing, making a swatch, reading the pattern, and all techniques, such as i-cord cast on and Japanese short rows, needed to create this delicate cardigan. Scroll down to see pattern details including sizes.
In this workshop, each week progresses to the next step outlined by the instructor. This class includes “homework” that will need to be done outside of class for the next session. Any missed classes will need to be made up during the week, before the next class.
This workshop has a 3 person minimum.
