Learn to Knit Mittens

Learn to knit mittens in the round. Mittens are a perftsmall project for leveling up skills. Later they are wonderful little canvasses to try out new stitch patterns and techniques.

This 2 week class will cover knitting in the round on double pointed needles, reading a pattern and decreases. Learning to knit in the round is an essential skill for any knitter to have under their belt. Just think of all the things that can be made in the round, without having to sew up any bulky or fiddly seams! This class is perfect for beginners who are confident with casting on and knitting and purling stitches.

In the first week we will learn the basics of following a pattern, cast on in the round with double pointed needles, work the ribbed cuff and start on the gusset. In the second week we will work the decreases for the top and work the thumb, as well as troubleshoot any questions that have come up.

The class requires the materials to make a pair of chunky mittens. If you order with your class booking please select Click and Collect and I will reserve your materials and bring them along to the class. I will also have a selection of appropriate yarns available on the day.
You will need 100g of super chunky yarn and 8mm double pointed needles.
