Create your own sweater vest, baby kimono, or a cozy for the object of your choice! We’ll work together to explore knitting beyond scarves and hats. Building upon basic knit/purl stitches and increasing/decreasing, students will learn how to build shape and use a pattern to knit a garment or free-form knit object.

  • Students should have an understanding of knit and purl stitches.
  • Classes are confirmed one week prior to the start date. In order to help us confirm classes, please register as early as possible.
