Black Sheep Sweater Vest - 7 Sessions
Black Sheep Sweater Vest - 7 Sessions
Design your own Black Sheep Sweater Vest! A more manageable version of Princess Diana’s iconic sweater, this is the first time I’m teaching Black Sheep Sweater/Vest as a step by step class and not a more loosely paced workroom. This class is paced reasonably so knitters of any skill level will be able to keep up with some dedication and planning!
What you’ll learn in this class:
Using your gauge and measurements to create a perfectly fitting sweater
Ladder Back Jacquard colorwork
Duplicate stitch
Adding steek panels for the armholes of a sweater exactly where you need them
Steeking!
Picking up stitches for the ribbing
Custom neckline shaping
Shaping the armholes to create perfect vest shoulder width
Supplies (not included in the cost of the class):
Yarn and needles to create the sweater for your desired size. You’ll be sent a yardage estimate chart as part of your welcome packet!
BUT PLEASE NOTE! We’ll make any yarn work for this sweater because we’re redesigning it based on your desired sweater size and gauge!

Notes About Allyson’s Classes!
Classes are taught live from Allyson’s home studio.
Each class features 2 cameras - a hand camera so you can see close ups of every detailed demo, and a face camera for face to face interaction.
Classes are kept small so everyone gets the personal attention they need to succeed!
Each class will be recorded and sent out to everyone to make it easy for student’s to rewatch important moments, or if a student needs to miss a live class.
After each class has 10 students sign up to attend the live classes, a recording only option will open up at 60% of the cost of the class. If you sign up for the recordings only option you won’t have access to attend the live classes, but you will be sent the recordings every week and be able to email Allyson any questions you have along the way.
