Making a Sweater That Fits
Basic (some experience)
Whether you knit or crochet, the process for getting the right fit in a garment is the same. We will start with a basic pattern and determine the right size to follow by taking personal measurements, making and reading a swatch, and adjusting needles and hooks for a perfect fit.
Homework: If desired, choose one of the patterns from the materials list or choose one of your own. Make a 4”x4” gauge swatch as described in the pattern. Bring your swatch blocked to class.

She now teaches regionally and writes patterns as Katie Clark Crochet which are available on her website at www.KatieClarkCrochet.com.
