Have you ever wished you could crochet a sweater without following directions line-by-line from a pattern? And when you finish your sweater, it fits exactly how you wished it would? This is the class for you! In this class, crochet designer Brenda K. B. Anderson shares her process for free-handing a granny square pullover. She teaches us how to crochet a granny square (with or without color changes) and walks us through the process of creating each piece of the sweater in such a way that it will fit when you are finished. She even shows us an easy method for shaping the front neck in a way that doesn’t require any math! You will also learn 2 different methods for creating a stretchy ribbing to fit the cuffs, hem and neckline of the sweater. This style of construction works well for any body type, size, or proportions and you can choose whether you want a cropped, mid-length, or hip-length sweater. It can be boxy, fitted, or anything in between! Included with this class is a pdf download with many photos to assist you as you learn how to create a sweater using this fun technique. You do not need to refer to the download in order to make the sweater, but it does have helpful reminders of the process as well as charts for those who prefer to work from them. Brenda guides you through the entire process of making this sweater, from start to finish, so that you can make sure you end up with a sweater that you love! This class is perfect for those who are brand new to garment making but will also be appreciated by more experienced crocheters who prefer not to follow a pattern, and would rather make it up as they go! With well over 3 hours of quality video instruction, and a helpful supplemental download, you will be well on the way to making a one-of-a-kind, beautiful sweater that fits the way you want it to!
