Let’s make the whimsical Rosie Sweater while learning how to knit stranded colorwork in a raglan sweater! The Rosie Sweater has a unique construction, creating a colorwork design that encircles the wearer. Although it may seem intimidating, our experienced instructor, Sarah, will guide you through every step of creating your Rosie Sweater. Class instruction includes how to read a colorwork chart, how to knit stranded colorwork, handling floats, German Short Rows, raglan increases and instruction on overall construction of your sweater.

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.

Must know basic knit stitches including the knit and purl stitch, basic increasing and decreasing stitches, and knitting in the round.

Rosie Sweater is designed to have approx. 7.75-12.5” of positive ease. The sweater is designed with a large amount of positive ease in the smallest sizes and gradually less positive ease in larger sizes.
Rosie Sweater is shown with approx. 11.75” of positive ease, meaning the sweater is shown on a model with a bust circumference that is 11.75“ smaller than the sweater's bust circumference.

The length is measured at the center back excl. the neckline.

Find your personal bust circumference by measuring around your chest (at the largest part of your upper body). Positive ease is the difference between your personal measurement and the sweater's measurement. For example, if your bust circumference is 37”, a size M/L will give you a positive ease of 12.5”
