This is the fourth session of our Improvers Knitting series which is aimed at beginner 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 the Slip Stitch colour knitting technique to create a two colour patterned sampler square which can be used towards making a cushion or blanket. We will look at how to work slip stitch patterns, how to read written and charted colourwork patterns and how to achieve correct pattern tension.
Different techniques will be looked at across the improver’s sessions and the different sampler squares knitted can then be collated to make a cushion cover or, if multiple squares are made, a blanket.
Materials needed. You will need 50g or 100g of double knit or worsted weight yarn in 2 contrasting colours 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).
There is no requiremeent to have attended other classes in the improvers knitting series to book this class, unless you want to of course!
Suitable for ages 16+
