Design Your Own Drop Shoulder Jumper Knitting Class with Vera Marcu

1:00 pm13:00

Design Your Own Drop Shoulder Jumper Knitting Class with Vera Marcu

Whether you're ready to design your own jumper from scratch or want to learn more about garment knitting in general, this class taught by Sydney-based knitwear designer Vera Marcu isn't one to be missed!

“I love this yarn but what to knit with it?” Has this ever happened to you? Do you have sweater quantities of all sorts of beautiful yarns but can’t find a pattern? Maybe it’s time to learn how to design your own jumper.

Drop shoulder designs are versatile and simple in construction. They can look casual, dressy, ornamental or plain and best of all, they can be a vehicle for unlimited creativity. The fact that they are basically rectangles with tubes for sleeves means that opportunities for fabric exploration are numerous. Lace, cables and colour work are much easier to experiment with as there aren’t too many places where one needs to shape the fabric.

In this class we will discuss:

  • Yarn choices

  • Ease

  • Shaping

  • Swatching

  • Basic math

  • Taking measurements

  • Calculating gauge and using it


The advantages and disadvantages of this construction will be discussed and several modifications explained.

 

At the conclusion of this workshop, you should be able to plan and execute your own drop shoulder jumper design.
