Event details

¿Te cuesta ajustar a tu talla los patrones de jerséis con canesú circular en top-own circular? ¿Los hombros te quedan muy apretados? ¿Las sisas son demasiado estrechas? ¿No consigues el escote adecuado?

En este taller teórico práctico, jugaremos con las matemáticas para calcular el corte que te sienta mejor. Rachel profundizará en el moldeado de la vuelta corta y en cómo puedes utilizar esta técnica para lograr el ajuste perfecto del escote y el canesú de tu jersey.

Aprenderás a tomar tus medidas para calcular el número ideal de vueltas cortas que necesitas y cómo trasladar esas medidas en función del grosor del hilo.

Si no sabes cómo tejer con vueltas cortas, Rachel te enseñará las nociones básicas de la técnica alemana para que aprendas a dominarlas. También te explicará otras formas de adaptar un patrón teniendo en cuenta la elección de la talla, el punto en el que el canesú se separa en cuerpo y mangas, la posición de las sisas y la costura para rematarlas.

Rachel utilizará diseños de Unwind Knitwear como ejemplo, pero puedes llevar un jersey con canesú circular top-down para ver cómo mejorar el ajuste en hilo y en directo.

Si te apetece, podrás probarte una pieza de muestra durante el taller. Te aconsejamos que lleves una camiseta finita para la prueba del jersey.

Do you find it difficult to adjust circular yoke sweater patterns to your size? Are the shoulders too tight? Are the armholes too narrow? Can't you get the right neckline?

In this hands-on theory workshop, we'll play with math to figure out the cut that suits you best. Rachel will delve into short rows shaping and how you can use this technique to achieve the perfect fit for your sweater neckline and yoke.

You'll learn how to take your measurements to calculate the ideal number of short rows you need and how to transfer those measurements based on yarn thickness.

If you don't know how to knit with short rows, Rachel will teach you the basics of the German technique so you can learn how to master it. She will also explain other ways to adapt a pattern, taking into account the choice of size, the point where the yoke separates into body and sleeves, the position of the armholes and the seam allowance to cast off.

Rachel will use designs from Unwind Knitwear as an example, but you can take a top-down circular yoke sweater to see how to improve the fit in yarn and live.

If you feel like it, you'll be able to try on a sample piece during the workshop. We recommend that you bring a thin t-shirt for the sweater fitting.

Class
I found it very clear and informative. I learned a lot that I have already put into practice about adding short rows. Thank you so much.

Insightful!
This was a great workshop. I learned a lot about customization and getting a better fit. It was especially helpful to try on jumpers and measure. Rachel was very helpful and answered all of our questions and problems. I've already ripped back a sleeve to make changes based on her recommendations.

The class was excellent! Rachel came extremely prepared and explained everything very clearly. The class sheet and samples she provided for us to try on were so helpful. She allowed for all questions to be asked and one-on-one time to everyone. I am so happy I was able to have attended.

Excellence
Very very interesting Workshop scrupulously prepared by Rachel ! Clearly and very precise and accurate explanations also for a foreign attendee. It really helped me to understand the importance of short rows and how to modify them and learned many possible solutions to personalize circular yokes.

So informative
I learned many new things from Rachel's class (and I'm a patternmaker!) She was succinct, friendly and was able to give everyone the time they needed to help with their particular situation with fit.
