Cuff-to-Cuff Sweaters
Subscribers: Expand your horizons by knitting cuff-to-cuff
Knitting sweaters this way gives us sizing flexibility and a fun way to think about adding color and texture ... sideways!
Cuff to cuff also helps with the needlebed limitations for larger sizes.
Knit a quick baby sweater and explore the options, or jump in and knit an adult size sideways sweater. It's your choice!
- Plan your cuff-to-cuff
- Mix 'n Match stitch patterns
- Yokes/skirts for added length
- Shaping for a "swing" style
Subscribers: Please join us for some sideways knitting. There will be 3 LIVE meetings (via Zoom) and a number of patterns to choose - from babies to adults.
