In this class, we will continue to build on students' newfound knitting skills by learning how to purl and make a swatch in stockinette stitch, as well as discussing tinking and frogging (two ways of undoing).
Class experience
In this lesson, students will expand their knitting prowess by learning how to make a purl stitch, then by making a second swatch, this one in stockinette stitch! We will also talk about tinking and frogging, two ways of undoing in knitting. This is a fun and relaxed series of classes to introduce young learners to the world of knitting. I've listed the different sections as one-time classes so learners can easily join at whatever point they may already be at and move on to the next section...
Students will improve their fine motor and mathematics skills as they learn and practice casting on, casting off, knitting, purling, tinking, frogging, and making a swatch. They will also have a chance to improve their social skills as they interact with other, young knitters.
I have been knitting since 2013 and have been in love with it ever since. I have taught several of my friends how to knit and have even written my own patterns. I look forward to seeing your learners grow their confidence in this new skill.
• A pair of single-pointed knitting needles (The ones with a point on one end and a stopper of some sort on the other end, NOT the ones with points on both ends.)
• A skein of yarn in any color
• A pair of scissors
• [Optional] A yarn needle (not a sewing needle)In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Students will be using scissors to cut yarn. Younger students and students with difficulties that could make this a danger to them should have an adult closeby for assistance. (Please remember that Outschool policy asks that parents stay out of view of the camera during class.) I will also be using a Canva slideshow to break down all the steps and information we'll be learning so it's easy to see, but no accout is needed as it will only be shown in a screenshare.
