Trouville

In this on-demand class, you'll learn how to customize the Trouville Sweater while preserving the beautiful colorwork motifs that make the design so special. We'll explore how to make thoughtful adjustments to sizing, fit, and proportions while keeping the sweater balanced and the colorwork looking its best.

Along the way, you'll strengthen your stranded colorwork skills, learn how to evaluate fit throughout the knitting process, and gain the confidence to make modifications to future colorwork projects. The Trouville Sweater features a very wild colorwork yoke, making it the perfect project for understanding how fit decisions and colorwork interact.

Rather than simply following a pattern exactly as written, you'll learn how to make informed decisions that help you create a sweater you'll truly enjoy wearing.
