 Three 2-hour classes

Skills needed: Knit, purl, working in the round 

Skills learned:

• working a yoked sweater
• increases
• raglan shaping

Materials:

• 610 (725, 845, 965, 1085, 1205) yds of DK weight yarn (yarn suggestions: DeRerum Natura Pénélope, Noro Kakigori)
• US#6 (4 mm) 16 and 24 and 32 or 40 inches circular needles (32 is needed for larger sizes; 40 inches is needed for magic loop)
• US#4 (3.5 mm) 32 or 40 inches 32 is needed for larger sizes; 40 inches is needed for magic loop)

• Purchased copy of Anker’s Summer Shirt by PetiteKnit in the format you prefer (printed copy, smart phone, etc.)

 Please note that these needle sizes are suggestions. Use the knitting needle size that will get gauge.  

Gauge:  20 sts x 28 rows = 10 x 10 cm [4 x 4 inches] in stockinette stitch on US6 (4 mm) needles after blocking 

Homework:

Before coming to the first class: Make a swatch using your chosen yarn that is worked in the round. Your swatch should be at least 5”X 5” when measured flat. Change needles as necessary to get as close to pattern gauge as possible. Be sure to block your swatch as you plan to wash your shirt. Read the entire pattern, then choose a size based on the ease you prefer. Bring all materials to the first class.
