Find Your Fit: Understanding & Altering Knitting Patterns Online Workshop with Kate Atherley
This product will be accessible from My Online Workshops located in My Account after purchase.
How many times have you chosen the “perfect” pattern, only to discover it’s not as perfect as it could be? The key to a great fit, and a final garment you can be proud of, often lies not in altering a knitting pattern, but in choosing the correct one in the first place. Join Kate Atherley as she discusses how to understand what a pattern is really telling you about fit, how to choose a pattern that addresses your particular needs, and how (and when) to make alterations for better fit and personal style.
In this Online Workshop you’ll:
- Learn the construction of key garment types, and how they may work (or not) with different body types.
- Understand how fit is a combination of garments style, silhouette, and ease.
- Learn about garment gauge and why it matters (and when it doesn’t).
