If you've wanted to try cable knitting but have been intimidated, this is the perfect class for you. In this class, students will learn about cable knitting, how to knit cables (both with and without a cable needle), and how to successfully read cable charts. Over the course of the sessions, students will work on the Antler Toque, a free pattern by Tin Can Knits. By the end of the class, participants will have all of the necessary skills to complete their hat.
This class will meet for two two-hour sessions. In addition to the class sessions, students are welcome to attend Friday Sit & Stitch at Moonspun Wool with their works-in-progress for additional help and guidance.
