Knitting in the Round: Beanie and Mittens

When knitting in the round you can create seamless tubular pieces that can be shaped into hats, socks, gloves and sweaters. Unlike flat knitting, you are always facing the right side of the fabric, there are few or no seams to join and you can work uninterruptedly.

In this intermediate course you will learn how to use double pointed needles, join stitches invisibly, create round shapes and make flawless stripes.

During this course we will guide you through two different projects: a beanie and a pair of mittens.
