INTERMEDIATE. You need to know how to knit and purl, fix mistakes and have made a sweater before to take this class.

Pixelated Pullover by Jennifer Beaumont is a fun stranded colourwork sweater, a top down, in the round, set-in-sleeve using the contiguous sleeve method developed by Susie Myers. It's a cool, interesting way to make a sweater!

Make it long sleeve or short, pops of colour, neutrals, make it the length you want and your preferred fit! We will check your gauge in the first class and discuss which size you should make to achieve the fit you want for you!

Also, consider “what effect will these colors have on you?” Color 1 frames the face. The other colors are going to highlight different areas of the figure. Heavier, deeper colors will recede; lighter brighter colors will pop forward.
