Ages 12 & up
Ready to level up your knitting skills? This class is designed for beginners who are
comfortable with knitting basics and ready to try knitting in the round. Over the course of this
class, you’ll learn how to use both circular needles and double pointed needles, join in the
round, work simple decreases, and follow a basic hat pattern from start to finish. Our class
project will be a classic beanie—a fun, functional accessory that’s perfect for gifting or keeping
cozy. By the end of the class, you’ll walk away with a finished hat and the confidence to tackle
other in-the-round projects like cowls, bags, and more.
Prerequisites: Students should be confident with the basic knitting stitches: casting on, the knit & purl
stitches, binding off, and weaving in ends.
