Orderly, yet creative - improvisational and logical. That's crazy lace! Whether you're a rookie knitter ready to tackle her first sweater, or an experienced knitter eager to create your own adventure in lace, you will love my Craftsy class, The Perfect Fit Seamless Crazy Lace Cardigan.
The name says it all: Perfect Fit, because I give you a worksheet to transform your measurements into a custom sweater pattern that works for any body style from petite to plus. Seamless because the basic design is a top-down raglan bolero, worked in the round and ready to wear as soon as it comes off the needles. And Crazy Lace because we will have BIG FUN playing with stitch patterns, starting with simple feather and fan and working up to ... whatever!
You'll learn a cool creative approach that teaches you "lace logic" and makes lace knitting fun instead of intimidating. Along the way, you'll pick up great techniques like the crochet cast-on and bind-off, magic loop knitting, shaping with ribbing, and fun details like bell sleeves and buttonholes. Make your sweater short or long, lacy or plain, in fingering weight or bulky yarn, in one pattern or "sampler style."
Once you learn this pattern, you'll want to make it again and again. And once you know crazy lace, you can use it in anything! I can't wait to see what you come up with, so sign up for The Perfect Fit Seamless Crazy Lace Cardigan today!
