Knit a top-down sweater! This course will run over three weeks at an adorable cafe around the corner from the shop complete with cake and a cuppa for everyone.
Join us for this in person 3-week pullover knitting course tucked in a lovely wee cafe across the street from the shop.
We will cover all the basics of knitting in the round while working on a cosy baby-sized pullover to practise and develop your skill with a different focus each week. The dates are as follows:
- Sunday 20 October at 2:30pm - 4:30pm: In the first session we will cast on and go over how to start knitting the neckband, then begin knitting the yoke of the sweater and go over increases.
- Sunday 27 October at 2:30pm - 4:30pm: The exciting bit! This week we will divide for the sleeves and work on the body of the sweater.
- Sunday 3 November at 2:30pm - 4:30pm: Finally we will knit the sleeves and finish off the garment.
Your tuition includes a cuppa and bit of cake during each class, along with a kit that will be waiting for you at the workshop. The workshop allows for a maximum of 6 students, so grab a pal to come along too!
