Garment Styles & Constructions - Learn the basic shapes and constructions of sweaters and cardigans - Mini Course
💥 Garment Styles & Constructions
A crash course for knitters who want to actually understand what they’re casting on.
This mini-course is your go-to guide for demystifying the most common sweater constructions and styles — no jargon, no guesswork, just clear explanations and visual breakdowns.
By the end of this workshop, you’ll be able to spot different garment types, understand how they’re built, and know exactly what you’re getting into before you cast on.
What You’ll Learn Inside (aka: what you’re really signing up for):
🧶 THE CONSTRUCTIONS
Understand how sweaters are built, from seamed and seamless to top-down and bottom-up, and how each one affects your knitting experience.
👕 THE STYLES
Learn the defining features of drop shoulders, circular yokes, and raglans, and how to tell them apart at a glance.
✅ THE PROS & CONS
Every construction has tradeoffs. You’ll get a clear, no-fluff breakdown of the strengths and quirks of each one.
👀 THE VISUAL CUES
You’ll learn how to identify each construction and style just by looking — no pattern-reading required.
🧠 THE CONFIDENCE TO CHOOSE
No more feeling unsure or overwhelmed when browsing Ravelry. You’ll know what you’re looking at, what it means, and how it’s made.
Why This Course Matters
Most knitters follow the pattern without ever really understanding what they’re building — and that’s fine… until it’s not.
This workshop gives you the tools to look at a sweater, understand its construction, and choose patterns with clarity.
It’s knowledge that makes you feel smarter, faster, and way more in control of your knitting.
