Altering Knit and Crochet Patterns for Size, Gauge, and Style with Kira Dulaney
It can be hard to find just the right knitting or crochet pattern to fit your yarn, body, and fashion sense. We will go through common alterations including working in the round, changing stitch gauge and row gauge, adding or altering waist shaping, calculating rates of shaping for curves and slanted edges to adjust armholes and necklines, and changing the size of a pattern both in an easy way with limited usage, and more thoroughly. This class will be useful for anyone who knits or crochets garments or accessories, including those using handspun yarn.
This workshop is open to students age 12+
