Class - Nordic Bloom Vest
Nordic Bloom is a stunning bottom-up stranded color work vest with a classic Scandinavian Design. Knit with a bulky yarn, with the option for a worsted/aran, it is a quick knit that will quickly become your favorite layering piece in your collection.
Spread out across 4 sessions, Sydney will walk you through the whole process. If this is your first sweater or your first stranded color work project, fret not! Sydney loves working with beginners and her goal is always to make these seemingly scary techniques approachable. For the more experienced knitters, this will be a delightful breeze to relax amidst the chaos of the Holiday knitting season.
You will learn basic sweater construction, stranded colorwork, adding buttonholes and buttons to knitwear, and steeking!
Skills that will set you up for success: Casting on/off, knit/purl, increase/decrease of your choice, knitting in the round.
