This hands-on workshop walks you through everything you need to know to pick your best size before you cast on your next (or first!) sweater project. The class is designed for students to work through each of the lessons while referring to a pattern of their choosing that they plan to knit (by any designer!).

By the end of this class, you will know how to take your own accurate body measurements, make and interpret a gauge swatch, understand the sizing information in a knitting pattern, and choose your best size, especially when you find yourself between sizes.
