Inspired by the Scandinavian heritage of our neighborhood, these wool mittens feature the classic pointed shape and simple geometric colorwork closely associated with Northern Europe’s textile traditions.
In this class, we will walk you through how to knit your very own pair of mittens on a single-bed knitting machine. Techniques include a patterned turned hem, using the holding function to knit in sections, how to make a simple thumb gore, and utilizing waste yarn mid-knitting to hold live stitches. A copy of the pattern and very detailed instructions are included with the class.
Each student will have their own knitting machine for the entire class, and you’ll get to choose your favorite color combination and pattern from a small collection of options.
All project materials will be provided. You are welcome to bring drinks and snacks to the class.
Prerequisites: This is an Intermediate Level Class. Participants should be comfortable transferring stitches, using the hold-function on the carriage and rehanging live stitches from waste yarn. (no ribber experience required)
Date and Time: Sunday, January 17th, 9:00-4:00 (with 1-hour lunch break)
Location: 2208 NW Market Street, Seattle, WA 98107, Room #311
