Last time we taught The Rota Sleeveless Top, it lit up the store. Every Knit 1 team member was itching to cast one on, and we still can't stop scheming about yarn options!
With cables, eyelets, multiple lengths, and a shoulder-focused top-down construction, this top is a great way to expand your garment knitting knowledge.
What you need to know and be comfortable completing without help from the instructor (or you're willing to learn before this class): How to knit and purl in the round, how to knit in small circumference (Magic Loop, double point needles, or small circular)
What you'll learn in this class: How to work cable stitches, an alternate top-down construction, armhole shaping techniques, and knitting a split hem
Required Materials:
We hope you'll consider supporting us by purchasing your materials at Knit 1!
