The jacquard sweater design course is a colorful adventure!
Here are our suggestions for preparing for it.
The Tin can Knits Strange Brew "recipe" that we are going to follow has a wide range of sizes for children, women and men.
Here are the approximate yarn quantities for each size.
The sizes mentioned are those of the sweater and not your current bust measurement.
We recommend that you calculate a positive ease of about 3" (7.5 cm) from your bust for a closer-fitting sweater and 5.5" (13.75 cm) for a more "relaxed" sweater.
We advise you to imagine your sweater with 2 or 3 colors for a first sweater. You can split the yardage of the contrasting color in 2 if you are using 3 colors.
Abbreviations:
- CP = the main color of your sweater
- CC = the contrasting color of your sweater
-m= meter
