Our Cable Knitting class is designed to help you learn one of knitting's most impressive techniques with confidence in a warm, welcoming environment. You'll knit Jason's Cashmere Cable Hat by Melissa Thomson — a free Ravelry pattern — guided by an inspiring and knowledgeable instructor. The class is limited to just six students so you receive plenty of personal attention and support. You'll learn new skills, connect with fellow makers, and walk away with a beautiful cabled hat. The support doesn't stop when class ends — the Apple Yarns team is always here during open hours to help you keep moving forward.
