Understanding Ease: What It Is and Why It Matters
Lisa Toppin • Three Of Skeins
Watch Time: 14 minutes
In Lisa Toppin’s lesson, “Understanding Ease,” you’ll get a clear introduction to one of the most important concepts in knitting and crochet: ease.
Lisa uses simple explanations and real-life garment examples to help you see how ease shapes the fit and style of sweaters.
Whether you’re new to making garments or looking to improve your sizing decisions, this session guides you through what ease is, why it matters, and how it interacts with your body measurements to give you the fit you want.
If you’ve ever found pattern instructions about ease confusing or wondered how to pick the right size for your handmade knits, this calm and practical lesson is a great place to start.

I became a self-taught knitter in 2007.
As the first knitter in a crochet family, I was considered a bit of a knit sheep.
I’ve been clicking along for more than a decade.
Now, I share what I've learned in my fiber journey as a teacher and content creator.
