The Patterns
Snug or slouchy - we've got you covered! The two starter cowl patterns in this programme use aran or worsted weight yarn, so you'll be seeing progress quickly and getting cosy in a flash.
There's bonus content too, with optional fancy cast ons and cast offs. We never miss a chance to teach you something new!
Our Tutorials and Tips
We've created an extensive collection of resources, including video tutorials, cheat sheets, and more, to make each step of this journey as effortless and stress-free as possible.
The beauty of the program is that there's no strict timeline to follow. You can complete each stage of the journey at your own pace, moving on to the next when you're ready. And if you ever need to revisit a technique or review a concept, our videos are readily accessible so you can go back to them whenever you need to.

Really enjoyed following the tutorials. I decided I would spend the time to master the Continental style knitting technique and it was worth it…my colour work cowl knitted up beautifully and I found keeping the floating contrast colour strands under the main colour easy and the project knitted up beautifully tensioned with lovely floating strands that just sit on the inside surface.
I’m just about to block it…but couldn’t wait to share how pleased I am!

The follow along videos have SO much GREAT information. Absolutely worth the time and money. Lisa goes above and beyond in sharing helpful tips. It’s great for beginners and experienced knitters. I will be hanging on to this link for further help. Than you, This Is Knit. You do beautiful work. I want to travel to Dublin and hang out in your shop as a holiday
I’ve knitted a sweater before, but I will use the first sweater follow along for my next sweater.
Always looking for the next project. :)

This course is so great for beginning colorwork. I felt so supported through the lessons and being able to connect with the team with questions. The written lessons and videos are so straightforward and easy to follow and go back to again and again. I was very nervous about doing colorwork and the possibility of messing it up, but these lessons were the right amount of support for me to feel challenged, but successful in this new (to me) style of knitting. Thank you TiK for this great course!

I have really enjoyed this follow along. Keeping an even tension in colour work has always been very challenging for me. The detailed videos have really helped and I am planning to start my first colour work jumper. Thank you!

I have absolutely loved this follow along. Always struggled with colour work and had given up
hope of mastering. But, thanks to the really clear tutorials I’m now not only able to follow a chart accurately, get a decent result and knit in the continental style. Can’t recommend highly enough. It’s been great!!

You should be comfortable with casting on, knit, purl and casting off.
You will also need a basic knowledge of knitting in the round.
Your ticket purchase covers lifetime access to all all patterns, downloadables and bonus materials. You will also receive a €30 coupon code towards your Follow Along materials. A total bargain!

The starter patterns recommend 4.5mm (US 7) needles for the edges and 5mm (US 8) needles for the main fabric.
