Knit a Summer Sleeveless Top: Nawa

Ready for some warm weather knits? Knit the beautiful Nawa sleeveless top by Yamagara! This class is designed for those who have knit at least one sweater, yet are still looking for teacher and group support as they tackle another project. Let’s knit through the pattern together over several weeks, with some time built between classes to make progress.

We will be learning techniques such as: German short rows, picking up stitches, cabling with and without a cable needle, cable cast on, etc.

In this class, we will be knitting the sleeveless version of Nawa. You will need to purchase the pattern in addition to signing up for the class; please support the designer by purchasing directly from them! Link here

Prerequisites: some skill in sweater knitting including swatching for gauge and choosing sizes. Basic knowledge of knits and purls, increasing, decreasing, etc.
