You're ready to move beyond the same old blanket pattern and start making wearables like hats, shawls and garments

But creating pieces that fit and feel good takes, takes a whole lot more than picking up some random yarn and a hook or needles.

You've tried following patterns, picked a size, maybe even made a gauge swatch... and still ended up with a finished piece that doesn't match the pattern pictures and it ends up in the back of your closet never to be worn.

Whether you knit or crochet, the skills that matter most are the same.

understanding gauge,
taking accurate measurements,
choosing the right yarn,
adjusting patterns,
blocking your work

These are all crucial to confidently creating wearables regardless of your craft.

Instead of 2 separate collections we're bringing everyone together to learn these core skills in one place.

RIGHT NOW YOU FIND YOURSELF ...

Frustrated not knowing how to get started and make a plan for your hat, sock or sweater. What yarn and needles/hook do I need for it to come out right? What size do I need to make (and how do I follow that size)?

Scared to commit to a wearable item. You've made a few small projects and you want to take the plunge but What if you get it wrong and you wasted so much crocheting/knitting time?

Spending more time frogging than actually making because you can't figure out the charts and abbreviations in your pattern instructions.

Panicked at the idea of assembling your garment. Knitting or crocheting the pieces is one thing, assembling them into a sweater that doesn't look like Frankenstein is a whole other story.

Discouraged after making a beautiful sweater that came out alright and looks like the pattern pictures, but somehow it doesn't look or feel right on you, so you'll never wear it.

Overwhelmed by all the talk about gauge, tension, ease and blocking. What do they mean and what do I need to do with this info to finally be able to knit and crochet hats, socks and garments I actually want to wear?

There has got to be a better way!

With time and a whole lot of stitching, undoing and frustration, you'll surely get there eventually, but...

MEET YOUR HOST

Hey! I'm Hortense

My mom taught me to knit, one summer when I was bored on the beach at age 10. From there my love (some would say obsession) of yarn was born and I never stopped stitching.

A few years ago I thought myself to crochet and started to dig into the online world of yarn and discovered so many techniques, constructions and concepts I had never heard about before.

Slowly I started to move away from following patterns until 2018 when I finally launched my blog Knitting with Chopsticks where I share my easy knitting & crochet patterns.

My goal is to break down knitting and crochet so they become simple enough for you to create exactly what you want, the way you want it through my patterns, blog, ebooks, courses, the Stitching Squad and summits.

And making your first wearables like hats, socks and sweaters you'll actually want to wear is the perfect place to start!

HERE'S WHAT OUR LIVE ATTENDEES HAD TO SAY

YARN TO WARDROBE: WEARABLES THAT FIT SERIES - $47

Instand and Ongoing Access to 25 expert workshops to knit & crochet gorgeous hats, socks, sweaters and other wearables you'll love to wear.
Live Speaker Panel Replays with the workshop teachers providing more guidance and help master kntting wearables
Course Notes - Ebook or slides for each presentation

BUY THE YARN TO WARDROBE: WEARABLES THAT FIT SERIES

You don't need more stitch tutorials and patterns,

you can find these in just a few clicks on Youtube and Pinterest.

But what you can't get that easily is the knowledge and know-how to make projects you'll actually wear that usually only comes with time and experience.

The Yarn to Wardrobe Summit is all about giving you the skills, knowledge and our expertise, so you can make your dream wearables like socks, hats, sweaters and more and wear them proudly.

We won't be able to show you how to execute each stitch, each construction and each technique that exists for wearables, but my hope is to give you a plan of how to make your choices, enough general garment knowledge and an overview of what exists, so you can tackle your first wearable with confidence and Google any specific stitch or technique you'd need.

The Yarn to Wardrobe: Wearables that Fit Series was created specifically for knitters & crocheters like you who love knitting & crochet and want to make their own wardrobe.

You just need a little help to take the plunge to start your first hat, socks or sweater and know how to ensure it turns into one you'll wear because it fits, it looks good on you and it makes sense with their existing wardrobe habits.

YOU'RE READY TO MAKE YOUR FIRST WEARABLES LIKE HATS, SOCKS, SWEATERS AND MORE WITH CONFIDENCE

It's time to stop second guessing yourself, spending hours knitting or crocheting blindly or sticking to the same old blanket pattern you know.

Grab your instant access by clicking the button below and join us to learn how to knit and crochet your first garments, giving you a 5-10 year makers experience bump.

YOU'VE GOT QUESTIONS? I'VE GOT YOU COVERED

What materials do I need?

You don't need any specific materials to follow the classes.

In most of the classes, the designer will share her knowledge and expertise to help you make the best choices and plan your knit and crochet wearables. Therefore, I'd recommend a pen and paper to write down any ideas you have while watching the classes.

For the more hands-on classes teaching a specific skill or technique, I recommend having some worsted weight yarn (preferably in a lighter color) and 4 or 5 mm / US 6 or 8 knitting needles or crochet hook on hand to try out any new technique / skill during the class.

How long will I have access to the presentations?

Once you purchase the Yarn to Wardrobe: Wearables That Fit Series, you keep access to all the presentations and lesson materials forever (aka as long as I'm alive and run my business)

How long is each lesson?

Each class is 20 to 25 minutes.

I just started knitting/crochet last week, is this for me?

The Yarn to Wardrobe Summit was designed with less experienced makers in mind, whether you've been knitting/crocheting here and there for years or if you just picked up needles/hook for the first time a few days ago, you'll learn A TON about making wearables in these workshops

As long as you know how to cast on / chain and work some basic stitches (stockinette and garter stitch for knitting for example and single and double crochet for crochet for example), I'd love to have you join us!

I've been crocheting/knitting for a long time, should I join?

So have many of the designers!

You'll probably already know a lot of what's being shared during the summit as it has been planned with less experienced makers in mind, but I would be very surprised you didn't learn anything. I know I did when I organized the live event!

Many attendees also reported knitting for 30-40+ years and still learned a lot from the workshops and speaker panels.

When will I get access to everything

You get access to all the materials instantly upon purchase. You'll get your login details in an email so you can access the member area and enjoy all the videos and lesson notes.

I've attended the 2026 Yarn to Wardrobe Summit, is this different?

The Yarn to Wardrobe: Wearables That Fit Series is a collection of workshops and replays based on the Yarn to Wardrobe Summit 2026. If you purchased the All-Access Pass or Superpack at the time, you will already have access to all this content.
