Before I took the course, I was hesitant that I wouldn’t be able to actualise my designs. I am now waiting for my first pullover pattern to be tech edited and go for test knitting! I can’t believe I have managed this and it is all thanks to Sweater Design School!

I have done a couple of grading courses in the past, both of which raised more questions than they answered. The grading section of Sweater Design School is, quite frankly, second to none! I now have the confidence to design and publish a garment pattern.

Wow, I learned so much! From calculating stitches/rows and grading to understanding stitch placement. I would have started at the end and never figured out how to get the range of sizes. The whole process makes so much sense now that I've done it.

- Outlined your pattern in a spreadsheet with absolutely no calculators and NO hand-written scribbles necessary!
- Written the first draft of your pattern, using a detailed pattern template that will save you time every time you write a new pattern.
