SIDEWAYS KNITS Unicorn 8790

Turn Your Knitting on Its Side!

Join knitwear designer Mathew Gnagy on this knitting workshop that explores the design methodology of knitting sideways, the benefits of doing so, and much more.

Mathew Gnagy began his career by designing clothing and costumes using paper patterns, so naturally when he dove into knitwear design he looked at construction differently. In this workshop, he’ll show examples of sideways constructed sweaters while discussing pattern placement, fabric stretch, directional interest, easy shaping techniques, and even inspirational moments where designing is better on its side.

With Sideways Knits with Mathew Gnagy, you’ll learn:
• How to recognize textural stitches and cables that create interesting “reads” when turned on their sides.
• How to choose patterns that can be knit successfully on their sides.
• Tips and tricks for dealing with challenges that come with sideways knitting.
• And more!

Plus! You’ll understand how to make modifications to designs to alleviate fears you might have of complicated knitting techniques. With Mathew as your guide, you’ll soon be knitting sideways and enjoying the many design benefits to sideways knitwear construction.
