Short Sleeve Tee, the Dingley Dell (Knit) $90 for two sessions: session 1
$90 for two sessions, Saturday June 13, 10:30 am. All Saturday classes are advanced beginner, which means already knowing basic knowledge of the craft (knit, purl, casting on). Classes include instruction only unless otherwise noted, supplies must be purchased separately.
Looking to make a cute short sleeve top for the summer? The Dingley Dell by Isabel Kraemer is perfect! These two classes (June 13 & June 27) will guide you through what you need to know to tackle this pattern and have a lovely summer top. The Dingley Dell is great for a striped look, or can be made all in one color. This top-down pattern has several unique elements, including continuous shoulder construction, giving it a set-in shoulder feel that is built as you go rather than sewn in later; the v neck construction is also built as you go, meaning fewer ends to weave in at the end!
I made my sample out of Juniper Moon Herriot Fine, alpaca and nylon, lightweight and cozy. Cotton, fingering weight merino, and other options can be found at the shop!
