The Details...

This 4 session get-together is structured to help you along and answer any questions as they come up, but it is not a class in the sense that everyone is doing the exact same thing at the same time with lectures/presentations. It's a fun social atmosphere, with the first meeting discussing the fit of the sweater. You will need to crochet a swatch before the first meeting. If you are unable to figure out the swatch on your own, you might not be quite ready for this get-together! All the details of the swatch are below!

Saturday, September 26th 2026 2pm to 4pm *MANDATORY*
Saturday, October 3rd 2026 2pm to 4pm
Saturday, October 17th 2026 2pm to 4pm
Saturday, November 7th 2026 2pm to 4pm

The first meeting is MANDATORY, as we will discuss fit and gauge, after that all meetings are up to you and there are no make-up sessions available. Please remember, this is more social/accountability that it is instructional!

The Summit Sweater combines linen stitch and mosaic crochet to create a piece with a striking yoke and a stretchy/comfortable fit.

The Summit Sweater can be easily customized to a cropped length or short sleeves instead of long.

The Summit Sweater is worked seamlessly from the top, down. The neck ribbing is worked first and short rows are worked to raise the back of the neck for a comfortable fit. The mosaic yoke is created with a chart, then the body and sleeves are separated and worked from the top, down.

Techniques used in this pattern: chaining, single crochet, spike single crochet, half double crochet, slip stitch, increasing, decreasing and back loop only.

Pre-req: Must know how to crochet in the round and how to change colors.

Gathering includes emotional support from Elena, helping you with any questions that come up and the printed and digital pattern! THE PATTERN IS FREE WITH THE CLASS, PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE IT AHEAD OF TIME

Frequently Asked Questions...
Q: Why aren't the meetings evenly spaced? 
A: It's just the way things shook out...sometimes holidays or other shop happenings get in the way.  

Q: I can't make it to the 2nd meeting, can I schedule an extra session to get caught up?
A: No, unfortunately there are no make up sessions. We do have private lessons on Tuesdays and Fridays if you need them. This gathering is more of an accountability, fun group, and not a lecture type class. There is nothing to get "caught up" on as what goes on during each gathering is organic and comes from questions/issues that you guys encounter. 

Q: Do I have to crochet to a certain point each gathering?
A: No! You will crochet at YOUR speed. Whatever point you are at for each gathering, is exactly where YOU should be. If you run into something that stops you up, just bring it to the next gathering and we can work through it together. 

Q: What will you be teaching?
A: On the first gathering we will do the most "class work" as we will be measuring our gauge swatch and determining the size of sweater that we would like. I will step you through the process and we will start the sweater. If you have questions about weaving in ends, ask it! If you need help with the collar, we got you! If you don't understand the pattern, we will walk you through it. Each one of these sweater-a-longs take on a different feel depending on who is taking it and what questions arise. Sometimes people have NO questions and just crochet the sweater and socialize. Everyone is on their own journey and we will meet you where you are at! But YOUR job is to speak up. If you don't let us know, we can't know that you need something!

Q: What if I already know how to crochet a sweater?
A: That's fine! This gathering is more social/accountability than it is instructional. We are here for you if you need us!

Q: What if I don't finish the sweater in the time we have together
A: That's no problem. You can finish it on your own schedule. If you need assistance after the final gathering, we can set up a private lesson time (they are $25/hour)

Q: Can I use yarn from my stash?
A: You bet!!! But if you don't have a sweaters quantity in your stash...we are happy to help! If you want to special order, do it SOON!!! Sometimes yarns are out of stock or on back order!

Q: Can I do this if I have never crochet a sweater?
A: I would consider this pattern intermediate or adventurous beginner. You must be able to crochet in the round and feel comfortable with single crochet stitches

Q: What if I can't crochet?
A: We recommend our Crochet 101 class 

Q: I don't want to swatch, can I still attend?
A: Nope, you must swatch...even if this is the ONLY time in your life that you do it!!

Q: Ok, I'll swatch but I won't wash it.
A: Nope, it needs to be bound off, washed and blocked to know how the yarn will behave when you finish your sweater. This is SOOO important if you are using Superwash!
