Two classes in one! It’s not school and we know you’re here for fun, so even when we’re talking baffling-sounding terms like “K2tog”, “psso” and “yf” the aim is still to teach you the lingo in a chilled environment. You’ll then move onto cable stitching for the last part of the class.
So if you still read ‘M1’ and think of the morning rush hour, this is the perfect opportunity to learn to follow knitting patterns yourself. Once you’ve mastered the basics of cable stitch, pattern reading and how to choose yarn and needles, the possibilities are endless!
