Description:

Want to advance your knitting beyond scarves and toques?  Join our Beyond Beginners class and knit Lillie’s Little Sweater.  This lovely hooded sweater was designed by Cottage Creations as a teaching tool to introduce fledgling knitters to new techniques, including decreases, short rows, buttonholes, use of double-pointed needles and finishing techniques.  Each of the 6-week sessions will cover a new skill carrying you to the next phase of sweater construction.  By the end of the class you’ll have a beautiful hand-knit baby sweater and all the skills necessary to knit an adult-size sweater for yourself.  No babies to knit for?  Gift it to charity or just wait for a friend’s baby to arrive!
