Learn basic knitting stitches while completing your first hat.  Hat will be knit in the round using the magic loop technique.  You will learn the foundations of knitting by learning in the continental style.  By the end of class, you will come away with a warm hat with a light texture and the skills to make the matching mitten set in the pattern.  By Rebecca Cook.

In this introduction to knitting, you will learn how to start knitting (knit, purl, cast-on, bind-off) by making a sampler using bulky weight yarn.  For those who don’t have time for a full beginning class, this will get you up and knitting or will refresh your knitting skills from years gone by.  By Cheryl Murray.
