Numana Yarns

Once you have an understanding for ways stitches can be knit to create textures, have some experience with how to read your knitting, it’s time to learn how to knit cables! We will be knitting a cabled hat where you’ll learn a few ways stitches can be moved around to create cables, learn to look for clues that will help you read your knitting, and what to do when there’s a mistake in the work. 

We will be using the Sandy Shores hat designed by Anna Johanna. A printed copy of the pattern will be provided for you in the class, as well as emailed to you a week before the class. If you provide your Ravelry name in the registration form, we can also add it to your Ravelry library at that time. The pattern features multiple cables, bobbles and a button hole opening at the top to accommodate a button on pom pom.

First session: practice swatch – bring knitting needles (see Please bring below), we’ll provide some acrylic yarn for the practice swatch; cast on hat.

Second session: trouble shoot progress and continue knitting the hat.

Skill Level: solid understanding for how to knit in the round, work both k & p stitch, some basic cable knitting experience, be able to read your knitted fabric, long tail or cable CO. 

Materials Included: copy of the pattern, 25 g practice yarn.
