Beginner Knitting : 11 – 2 pm

The class is 3 hours over two Saturdays for a total of 6 hours tuition.

*Price includes materials. 

A workshop perfect for absolute beginners, those who have tried to knit before but struggled to get started or even those who have done a little knitting but want to gain confidence in the basic stitches. This class will teach the basic knitting stitches and techniques, making swatches of each to practise and build confidence in the skills.

We will cover:

• Casting on and Casting off
• Knit Stitch
• Purl Stitch
• Striping
• Rib stitch and playing with the knit and purl stitches
• Basic pattern reading, pattern abbreviations and terminology.

 

Materials info 

*You will be provided with yarn and needles on the day.

Learners – it may also be helpful to bring a pen to make your own notations on the given worksheets or in a small notebook as often these notes are really helpful as an aide memoire after the class has finished.
