This 6-session class is an introduction to knitting in the round on both circular and double pointed needles. Together we will knit a cowl, a pair of fingerless mitts, and a hat, going over best practices for every step of these projects. We’ll also dive into how we shape fabric using increases and decreases, fix mistakes, and read our knitting, creating value for newer knitters as well as more experienced knitters looking to refresh and level up their knitting skills.
