Service Description

This course is to learn how to knit a traditional Icelandic sweater, which is knit from the bottom up. We will be knitting the Stapavík sweater designed by Rakel, the Knitter from Iceland. During the course, you will learn how to knit colourwork, how to do sleeves and how to put it all together midway before knitting the yoke at the top. You’ll have homework in between sessions to get to the next part of the pattern and if you need support between sessions, that support is just a mouse click away! The pattern is knit on 6 mm needles, so you will see it grow nice and quickly! The knitting kit for the Stapavík sweater is available in the shop and there is a 10% discount on the kit for workshop participants! It comes in 7 colourways or you could choose your own colour combination. Two round knitting needles are included in the price of the workshop, or you could upgrade and get an invaluable knitting needle kit available in the shop which is the ideal tool to knit an Icelandic sweater. Who for: if you already know how to knit and want to take the next step and put it all together. Maximum class size: 6 knitters.
