Once you’ve learned the foundational skills (k, p, CO and BO) and you’re ready to knit your first project, this class provides the perfect opportunity to practice your newly acquired skills and work on a project. You will be able to stitch with confidence that any issues that come up while knitting, will be addressed in the class.

You can choose to knit either a garter stitch scarf (in one colour or striped) or a 1x1 ribbed scarf (one colour or striped) in the class. The class will provide the opportunity to practice/review finishing skills like weaving in ends, how to knit a tidy edge, and how to block your work. A copy of the pattern you’ve chosen to knit is included in the class.
