Ondawa

Love the look of a cozy cabled sweater but aren't sure how to customize it for the fit you want?

In this on-demand class, we'll use the Ondawa Sweater to explore one of the most important concepts in sweater knitting: how changes to one part of a garment affect the rest of the sweater.

As we work through this beautiful cabled design, you'll learn how body ease influences sleeve fit, how to evaluate proportions before you cast on, and how to make thoughtful adjustments that create the sweater you're hoping for.

Along the way, you'll build confidence working cables, reading your knitting, and managing a richly textured fabric from cast on to bind off.

Whether you're knitting Ondawa exactly as written or planning modifications from the start, this class will help you understand the relationship between construction, fit, and design.
