This 8 week class will take you step by step through the original Weekender, Weekender Crew, or Weekender Light, all by Andrea Mowry. This is a great first sweater and is paced reasonably so knitters of any skill level will be able to keep up with some dedication and planning!
We’ll be covering:
Gauge and sizing
Sizing customization for both the body and the sleeves
A full bust adjustment so you can get a better fit in the front and no swinging back!
Knitting in the round and knitting flat - what happens if your gauge changes!
Tubular cast on and bind off
Short rows
Knitting sleeves two at a time
Optional - adding a second shoulder color!
Prerequisite: Students are comfortable with knitting and purling
Materials not included in the cost of your class:
Anything! Seriously. We’re resizing this whole thing based on your gauge so whether you want to use fingering, DK, or worsted weight yarn we’ll make it work! Use the pattern pages on Ravelry to find your yardage.

Notes About Allyson’s Classes!
Classes are taught live from Allyson’s NEW home studio in Porto, Portugal!
Each class features 2 cameras - a hand camera so you can see close ups of every detailed demo, and a face camera for face to face interaction.
Classes are kept small so everyone gets the personal attention they need to succeed!
Each class will be recorded and sent out to everyone to make it easy for student’s to rewatch important moments, or if a student needs to miss a live class.
After each class has 10 students sign up to attend the live classes, a recording only option will open up at 60% of the cost of the class. If you sign up for the recordings only option you won’t have access to attend the live classes, but you will be sent the recordings every week and be able to email Allyson any questions you have along the way.
