Gramps Baby Sweater Knit-Along: A Sweater with Personality
Some sweaters are practical. Some are pretty. And some have personality. Meet Gramps by Tin Can Knits—the easygoing cardigan that looks equally at home on a newborn, a favourite curmudgeon, or you.
Join us for a knit-along as we work through this approachable, endlessly customizable sweater. With sizing from newborn through adult, Gramps makes a terrific gift knit or an easy, wearable addition to your own closet. Add pockets and elbow patches if you’re feeling particularly professorial—or skip them for a clean, classic look.
Along the way, you’ll learn the ins and outs of a top-down cardigan knit flat, including knitting the sleeves in the round, picking up stitches for a button band, and working a short-row shawl collar. We’ll knit together, troubleshoot together, and give your Gramps plenty of personality along the way.
Plan to knit an infant-to-child size in over 4 classes in October. Learn new techniques and get a sense of satisfaction of finishing a garment in a month!
Come knit a Gramps. Make it yours. And maybe make one for your favourite curmudgeon, too.
In sizes from child through adult - the perfect giftable project!
Instructor: Robin Allison
Dates: Four Saturdays October 3, 10, 17 & 31 from 10 am to 12 pm
Cost: $50 for four in-person sessions
Skill Level: Adventurous beginners and beyond. You should already know how to cast on, knit, and purl.
Pattern: Gramps by Tin Can Knits
Yarn: We ask that you purchase your yarn at Shrimp and Knits for this Knit Along so we can help you choose the perfect combination for your sweater and support you throughout the project.
