In this class, students will continue to develop the knitting skills they learned through the classes "Knitting Class. Learn to Knit, Purl, and More, Parts 1, 2 and 3." 
***Please note!***  This is NOT a beginning knitting class.  It is recommended that students complete  Parts 1, 2 and 3 of this series in order to be successful in this class.
In this class, students will be learning the steps to make a sweater.  We will be making a sweater that fits a bear that is approximately 14" tall.  We will be discussing how to adapt the pattern to a larger bear, but the pattern that is written by the teacher will be for a 14" bear.
This class will be set up like a workshop.  Students will see a demonstration of each step, and then students will work on the step with Mrs. Borton's help.  A printed pattern will be provided for the project. 
Week 1 - Students will learn how to size the sweater and work on the sweater front.
Week 2 - Students will continue with knitting the front of the sweater and start on the back.
Week 3 - Students will finish the back of the sweater and sew the front and back together at the shoulders.  Students will work on the neck ribbing.
Week 4 -Students will make the arms of the sweater.
Week 5-6 - Students will assemble the sweater, and work on any other finishing details.
