1 live meeting
1 in-class hoursClass Experience
In this class, students will learn about all the basics of knitting and come away with their very first knitted project. We will start class with an overview of knitting needle size and how to choose yarn that will result in a beautiful piece of art! Then I will teach the students how to cast on stitches by modeling the steps myself and displaying visuals. Once we have practiced casting on, we will move on to the garter stitch, which is the foundation of knitting. We will conclude this portion of the lesson by binding off, thereby completing the knitting project. I will end class by reading through a knitting pattern for a scarf with the students so they will come away with the skills to create practical, knitted pieces independently. This is a beginner's class, so students do not need any prior experience with knitting beforehand. **For a more comprehensive dive into knitting, please check out my Beginner's Knitting Camp! Punctuality policy: If none of the students arrive within 10 minutes of the class start time (unless you've sent me a message beforehand explaining they will be late), I will end the meeting and you will be charged for the class fee. In order to avoid missed classes, please send me a message before the meeting!
