Skill Level Needed: Intermediate Knitting - Level 2

Learn how to knit stranded colourwork flat (knit back and forth), while incorporating intarsia.

We will be using a scarf designed by Susan @knit_frog_repeat, the Quilt Star Scarf. The class covers different stranding techniques in colourwork knitting. A contrasting trim and two intersections (where different motifs meet) is worked using the intarsia method. The small amount of linear intarsia used in the design is a perfect first intarsia knitting project.

Please be sure you’ve selected colours and yarn, prior to the class starting. Visit Susan Chin’s Ravelry page (info available starting Jan. 25th), for yarn base and colourway requirements.

Skill Level: k, p, 1x1 rib, and using more than one colour in a project. Comfortable following written and some experience following charted patterns.

Materials Included: digital and printed copy of the pattern.

Please Bring: US 2.5 / 3 mm needles (either straight or circular needles, whichever you are comfortable with), yarn you’ve chosen for the pattern, notions kit (scissors, stitch markers and darning needle).

Homework: gather your yarn and bring a notebook and pen if you want to take additional notes.

Please note the classroom is upstairs (14 steps).
