Purl Scouts: Beginner Knitting for Middle Schoolers - Lesson 3
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! 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 whenever they feel ready. ___________________________________ Class...
Students will improve their fine motor, and mathematics skills as they learn and practice casting on, casting off, knitting, purling, 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 requires parents and guardians to stay out of view of the camera.) 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 account is required as I will be sharing it in a screenshare.
