An Intro Class with Erica Wilson The next step after making scarves is working in the round, and the perfect project to do that is making hats! Hats are fast, easy, and very, very satisfying! We'll teach you how to cast on in the round, knit in the round, how to knit on double-pointed needles (the ones that look like little chopsticks), how to decrease stitches and how to read a pattern. Knowing how to cast on and knit and purl are the only prequisites. Skill Level: Beginner (after scarves) Prerequisites: You must already know how to cast on, knit and purl. Hours of Instruction: 3 (1.5 hours on each of two days) Materials Materials are NOT included, but we sell everything you need and you receive 10% off all materials during your class. 1 ball of Drops Andes OR Estelle Colour Flair OR Gazzal Popcorn OR Cascade Spuntaneous 8mm/US10-16"(40cm) circular needles (wood or metal) 8mm/US10 double-pointed needles Bulky darning or tapestry needle NOTE: Gazzal Popcorn and Cascade Spuntaneous some of these yarns come in skeins and need to be wound into a ball before using, so please come to your first class a few minutes early, or have it done ahead of time (we can wind it for you, we've got a gadget but it takes 5 minutes).
