Class: Intermediate Crochet: Fawning Over You Sweater

Join us in the shop for this Intermediate Crochet project: Fawning Over You Sweater by Briana K Designs! Using the cozy Cascade 220 Superwash yarn, we will focus on stranded colorwork with top-down construction, while working in the round and mixing stitch-use. During this multi-week class you’ll build the skills and confidence to craft a wardrobe-worthy garment you'll love showing off.

Class Overview

• Duration: 6 Sessions over 7 Weeks (Includes a 1-week mid-class break so you have plenty of time to work on the body!) / 2 Hours per class

• Class Size: Limited to 6 students for dedicated, step-by-step guidance

• Skill Level: Intermediate Crocheter: You should be comfortable with basic crochet stitches, counting stitches, and working in the round.

What You’ll Learn

• The Split Single Crochet Stitch 

• Stranded Colorwork in Crochet (chart reading, managing yarn floats, and tension control)

• Working in the Round & Yoke Increases for a perfectly shaped circular yoke

• Splitting for Sleeves & Body and working underarm chains

• Finishing Techniques including weaving in ends, and blocking

Weekly Breakdown

• Week 1 - Swatching & Collar Setup: Select your color combination, check gauge, review pattern, learn the split single crochet stitch, and start your collar

• Week 2 - Yoke & Stranded Colorwork: Learn to read colorwork charts, manage multiple strands of yarn, and execute yoke increases.

• Week 3 - Finishing Yoke & Separate the body: This pattern requires blocking the yoke before finishing the rest of the body. 

• Catch-Up Break Week! Take this extra time at home to stitch away on the body of your sweater at your own pace.
