Knitting Skills 3

Type: Technique

Length: 2 hours

Instructor: Staff

Class Fee: $30

Prerequisite: Build Your Knitting Skills 2

Description:

In this Build Your Knitting Skills session, we will explore in further depth the language of knitting patterns and abbreviations and how to read them, as well as the importance of reading through patterns and checking for mistakes before you start knitting.

Next you will work a sample swatch with different cable patterns in it, finally learning the secret the more experienced knitters know about cables. The swatch pattern is provided in both written and charted formats, so this is another opportunity to practice working from written patterns and maybe a first chance to work from a chart.

Then you will compare the properties of cables with several other stitch patterns, and see how their differences can affect a larger project. Next, you will learn how to pick up and knit stitches along the edge of your cable swatch.

In the final step, you will explore different ways to block your work, because eventually you will want to try your hand at blocking something wonderful you have knitted.

To practice what you’ve learned, we will send you home with a pattern for a cute and cozy hat with a cabled brim.


Participants need to purchase or bring the following supplies when they come to class:

(Please arrive a few minutes early to purchase your materials.)

  • 1 skein of Cascade 220 or Cascade 220 Superwash yarn

  • US Size 8 (5.0mm) or 9 (5.5mm) Addi Natura 24” circular needles

  • Scissors

  • Cable Needle

Build Your Knitting Skills 3

Knitting Skills 3

Type: Technique

Length: 2 hours

Instructor: Staff

Class Fee: $30

Prerequisite: Build Your Knitting Skills 2

Description:

In this Build Your Knitting Skills session, we will explore in further depth the language of knitting patterns and abbreviations and how to read them, as well as the importance of reading through patterns and checking for mistakes before you start knitting.

Next you will work a sample swatch with different cable patterns in it, finally learning the secret the more experienced knitters know about cables. The swatch pattern is provided in both written and charted formats, so this is another opportunity to practice working from written patterns and maybe a first chance to work from a chart.

Then you will compare the properties of cables with several other stitch patterns, and see how their differences can affect a larger project. Next, you will learn how to pick up and knit stitches along the edge of your cable swatch.

In the final step, you will explore different ways to block your work, because eventually you will want to try your hand at blocking something wonderful you have knitted.

To practice what you’ve learned, we will send you home with a pattern for a cute and cozy hat with a cabled brim.
