This class teaches you how to evaluate if/when you need to work some of the most common fit adjustments in knitting, understand how the adjustment works, and calculate the numbers to work the adjustment according to the fit you want.

The class includes my original Sweater Adjustment Guide to walk you through best practices for planning an adjustment, as well as worksheets with formulas for 3 of the most common adjustments in knitting: a custom fit sleeve, horizontal bust darts, and A-line hip/belly shaping. All the videos are time-stamped to match the adjustment formula worksheets, making it especially easy to find step-by-step guides for specific adjustments whenever you need them when working a new pattern.
