Class Experience

In this 4-part course, students will learn the basic skills of knitting while creating their very own cotton pot holder. This course is slow paced and designed for children ages 8-11 with no previous knitting experience. Learners will follow along as I walk them through each part of each lesson step by step. Each child will receive individual attention and be able to ask any questions they have as we go along.

Lesson One:
Introductions
How to read a pattern
How to tie a slip knot 
How to hold the needles
How to cast on

Lesson Two:
How to cast on (continued)
The Knit Stitch

Lesson Three:
The Knit Stitch (continued)

Lesson Four:
How to Bind off 
How to knit an I-cord
How to weave in loose ends

**Learners older than the maximum required age are welcome to enroll in this class, however, learners MUST be at least 8 years of age.**
