The first session of our Improvers Knitting series which is aimed at novice knitters (who have already started knitting the basics) or those wishing to return to knitting or anyone who wants to expand their knitting repertoire. You should be able to cast on, knit and purl.
We will focus on knitting in texture using Knit and Purl stiches to create a motif patterned sample square which can be used towards making a cushion or blanket. We will look at how to read written and charted pattern and how to achieve correct pattern tension.
Different techniques will be looked at across the 'improver’s, sessions and the different sample squares knitted can then be collated to make a cushion cover or, if multiple squares are made, a blanket.
There is no requiremeent to have attended other classes in the improvers knitting series to book this class, unless you want to of course!
Materials needed. You will need 50g or 100g of double knit or worsted weight yarn and 4mm or 4.5mm knitting needes.
Skill level: This is not an absolute beginners class so you should be comfortable with teh basisc of knitting (casting on, knit stitch and purl stitch).
