Are you a fashionable full-figured woman who cannot find patterns to fit you in crochet? This is the class for you. It's all about fitting the pattern, to fit your body type. I'm Marly Bird, instructor of Curvy Crochet at Craftsy.com. In this class, you will learn all the tools you'll need to alter a pattern to fit your body type. There is a little bit of math involved. But it's okay. I'm a visual learner too and I will show you how you can use charts to really make the math numbers make sense. In this class, we will discuss the proper way to take your measurements of your body. We will also discuss how to measure your favorite sweater. From there we're gonna learn how alter all the things that are important for plus-sized women. We're talking about neck lines, arm holes, arm circumference and sleeves. So all this information is going to be available for you, and you get two free patterns. The omnimono kimono and the capricious cardigan. Another pattern I am going to mention quite a lot is this one back here actually called the tie-back tunic. It is a pattern from my book Curvy Crochet. Throughout the course of the class, you can ask questions and get answers from me and your classmates. You can download course material from the Craftsy platform and upload photos. You can also take video notes, which allows you to go back at any point in the video that you had questions and watch it over and over and over again.
