Experienced designer and writer Karie Westermann will guide you through the best practices, and the common pit-falls to avoid, when writing an effective knitting pattern. We will talk about the anatomy of a pattern, how to write for an audience, and how to develop your own style sheet. Together we'll look at examples of pattern writing, work out how to write clear and concise technical instructions, and discuss what makes a good knitting pattern. Note that this is not a design class.

SKILL LEVEL:

Students should be comfortable with basic knitting.

MATERIALS:

Pen and paper.

Homework:

Students will be asked to write a simple, short pattern based on a hand-out from Karie. This hand-out will be sent to them approx. a month before the class. We will go through the results in class (all feedback is anonymous).
