Prerequisite
Students should be comfortable with knitting basics: both knit and purl stitches as well as knitting in the round. My First Sweater Class works best for advanced beginners and beyond who have completed a few other projects.
If you are a newer knitter, you may choose to knit a child-size sweater to keep the homework manageable.
