The No Frills Sweater Workshop
Join us at Pluche for a guided journey to knit the perfect wardrobe staple. The No Frills Sweater is a timeless raglan with clean lines and elegant neckline shaping—the ideal “first sweater” that you will actually love wearing.
Have you always wanted to knit that one "cool sweater," but haven't quite dared to tackle a pattern on your own?
Join us at Pluche for a guided journey to knit the perfect wardrobe staple. The No Frills Sweater by the talented PetitKnit is a timeless raglan with clean lines and elegant neckline shaping—the ideal “first sweater” that you will actually love wearing.
Throughout the workshop, we’ll hold your hand every step of the way. You’ll learn how to confidently read a knitting pattern, understand common English knitting terms, and follow the construction of a garment from start to finish—ensuring you enjoy the process just as much as the final result.
We are offering this workshop in two separate series:
Both options cover the same content, so you only need to choose the series that best fits your schedule!
Workshop Schedule & Focus
The workshop is split into three focused sessions to give you time to knit at your own pace in between.
Session 1: Pattern and Start
In this first session, we’ll select your yarns, check gauge, and dive deep into the pattern. You’ll master swatching and learn how to read and interpret the instructions, leaving you fully prepared and confident to cast on your sweater at home.
Session 2: The techniques
Once you have cast on, joined in the round, and finished the neck ribbing, we’ll tackle the technical details. We will cover short rows and raglan increases, while further deepening your understanding of the pattern’s structure.
Session 3: Body and sleeves
After some homework, we'll reunite to split the body and sleeves—the most exciting part of top-down construction! Julia will provide individual troubleshooting to ensure a perfect fit.
