Knitting – for Beginners
Knitting allows you to create unique, long-lasting garments and accessories. It is a fun, meditative activity that can be practiced at home, on the train, alone or with fellow knitters.
In this beginners course we will help you understand the logic behind knitting. You will learn the key technical aspects and basic stitches: knit and purl. We will show you how to work classic patterns like stockinette, seed stitch and brioche, also how to increase and decrease, make cables and eyelets. You will be able to knit simple projects like scarves and wraps.
