Join us for this fun, informative class to learn how to knit a hat! You will learn to Cast On, Knit, Purl, Decrease, and Bind Off. We will talk about yarn, needles, gauge, tools of the trade, and pattern reading. Hats are fun to knit and wear, plus they make great handmade gifts.
If you’ve done a bit of knitting before, this class is just the thing to take you through the next steps in your journey!
Required Materials:
Yarn: 145 - 200 Yards of #5 Bulky Weight Yarn (Berroco Ultra Wool Chunky or similar)
Knitting Needles: US 10 or 10.5 16” Circular Needle (to start knitting the ribbing of the hat), US 10 or 10.5 Double Pointed Needles (to decrease for the crown of the hat)
Other Tools: Darning Needle, Stitch Marker (or scrap yarn), scissors
Optional Materials (if you want to add a pompom):
Yarn: 10-20 yards matching or contrasting yarn for pompom (this can be any weight yarn and is a fun way to use up scraps!)
Tools: PomPom Maker or some pieces of cardboard
