Great class if you want to make this cardigan. But is not for me. I was looking for more information of how to make the yoke for a top down cardigan in the round but is not here. She does not explain why she makes the increases or calculate the stitches,to make your own pattern. Now if you want to learn how to make this cardigan,it is well good explained.

Excellent class. I'm tickled with my first crocheted sweater. I could never have completed it without Lena's wonderful directions. I recommend this class and look forward to another of her classes. Thank you.

Well Taught class! Would like to know of yarn type equivalents that would also work really well (could not find kind listed locally) My sweater turned out great but feel the yarn type I chose did not do the pattern justice.
