Join us for this 3 session class and learn all the fundamentals of building a beautiful sweater! The Felix Cardigan is a top down raglan sweater with an eyelet motif incorporated into the raglan increases. The pattern is written to be worked back and forth in rows, the neck is shaped with short rows, the body and sleeves are divided after the yoke shaping. The body is then worked back and forth in rows, and the sleeves are picked up and worked in the round.

Instructor Bio: From Shari – “I’ve been teaching classes since 1998, when my twins graduated from high school, and Zandy from Zandy’s yarn shop took a chance on me! I learn more from people than I teach! My grandma taught me to crochet and knit a bit, but a friend sat me down and taught me the basics, I’m so thankful for her! I’m still learning and in awe of what so many accomplish. I might be a familiar face as I’ve taught at a few shops!”
