DESCRIPTION

This beginner class teaches the basics of knitting over three sessions. Students will learn how to cast-on, knit and purl, how to bind off, 1x1 ribbing and fixing easy mistakes. We’ll also look at ways to hold the needles and yarn, stitch tension, pattern terminology, how to read a pattern, join new yarn and weave in ends.

The class is set at a moderate pace -- we ask that all attendees be 12 years of age and older.

Students will be taught to knit right- or left-handed, which ever they're comfortable with.
