Knitting a Hat

Tutor - Barbara Woodman.

Learn new techniques to make a top down hat in a chunky yarn on circular needles.

This half day workshop is for those who have already mastered the knitting basics and wish to extend their skills. Students must be able to knit garter and stocking stitch: cast on; bind off; increase and decrease and follow simple knitting pattern instructions.

The new techniques are taught and used at the beginning of the project so that if you are not a fast knitter you can easily finish your hat at home. (4 hours).
