Jethro Sweater 

We are in love with this hip, fun sweater! This project is a great opportunity to use BOTH your crochet and knitting skills - and potentially a whole bunch of scrap yarn! The drop shoulder style is intended to be worn with plenty of positive ease. The granny squares are constructed, assembled and then finished off with a crisp knitted hem, button bands and cuffs. 

Instructor: Nancy DeVries

Cost: $60 class fee + materials

Dates: Saturdays 10:00am-Noon
October 19, November 2, November 16 (3 sessions)

Level: Intermediate. This is not a beginner class. Prior to this class, you need to be confident with magic ring, chaining and double crochet. You also need to know how to knit and purl, read a knitting pattern, and bind off. There will be a fair amount of outside work to be completed between classes, which are 2 weeks apart. This class is for participants ages 18+.

Skills: You will learn how to crochet a 5-color granny square, arrange and assemble the squares, pick up stitches and knit a ribbed hem, cuffs and button band.

Instructor Bio: From Nancy - "My grandma was a master embroiderer and crocheter of lace edgings. She taught me at the age of 9 how to crochet. Since learning I have never not crocheted. I love trying new and intricate patterns or making things up on my own. I have done many baby blankets, sweaters, granny squares, dishcloths, scarves....  I have been crocheting 50+ years and have taught many others how to crochet."
