Curious about knitting but not sure where to start? Learn to Knit is a three-week beginner series focused on building real, usable skills through hands-on practice and practical projects.
Designed for absolute beginners or those looking for a structured refresher, each session builds on the last. By the end of the series, you’ll be able to read simple knitting patterns, work both flat and in the round, and finish projects with confidence.
What to Expect:
- Three weekly classes, 2 hours each
- Worsted weight yarn and circular needles used from the first session
- Clear, step-by-step instruction
- Guided in-class projects with time to practice
- Homework projects to reinforce skills between sessions
- A supportive, low-pressure learning environment
A beginner kit is required for this class and will be provided at the first session. Kits include a student guide, yarn, needles, and basic notions needed to get started. Kit fee: $35 (separate from class fee)
Practice between classes is required. The skills build week over week, and regular practice is key to success.
What You’ll Make:
- Week 1: Garter Stitch Washcloth + Mini Pouch
- Week 2: The Stitch Companion Knit Project Bag (2 sizes)
- Week 3: The Sip Grip Cup Cozy (worked in the round)
What You’ll Learn:
- How to hold circular needles comfortably and manage yarn tension
- Casting on and knitting basic stitches with consistency
- Reading stitches directly on the needle
- Counting stitches and rows accurately
- Working flat and in the round
