now you can learn how to make one for yourself!

Over 5 weeks you’ll learn every stitch and technique you need to crochet your own soft, cosy, beautiful cardigan. Kate has taken the classic Hexi cardigan design and refined it, so it fits every body, every shape, every size.  You'll learn how to size it to your body and how to size it to fit other people.

Everything you need is included in the price.

Course Overview

This is a rough outline of what we'll do each week. Everybody will crochet at a different pace and that's OK. You will need work on your crochet cardigan a bit between classes, but it will be just things we have covered in the class that week.

Don't worry if you don't get finished in the classes, there's plenty of opportunity to pop in for help, either at our Hook and Help classes, or come along to our Meet & Makes on a Thursday afternoon.

Week 1: Getting Started
Start the hexi panels that will become the main panels of your cardigan. Work the rest of the panels at home ready for week 2.

Week 2: Adding rows and joining
Next we will add rows to the back and sleeves, measuring and sizing to fit you. We'll work out in class how many rows you'll need so you can complete the rest at home ready for week 3.

Week 3: Sewing & ribbing
This week we'll look at how to add length. Then we will sew the 2 panels together. and learn how to create the ribbing on the sleeves.

Week 4: Ribbing on front and bottom
Learn how to add ribbing around the front and bottom edges.

Week 5: Bringing It All Together
We'll finish up by completing the ribbing, sewing in ends, and advice on how to finish your cardigans at home.
