Knitting 101: Everything You Need to Knit With Confidence

Express your creativity through Continental knitting and create cozy clothes you’ll love for years!

Vincent Williams of Visuvio's Crafts started to knit after he struggled to find warm accessories that worked for him—and in this class, he’ll show you just how easy it is to create your own style through stitching. By the end of this 90-minute class, you’ll have a knit cowl of your very own, plus a comprehensive workflow you can use to create any knit project you can imagine. 

To start, you’ll learn all the foundational basics of Continental knitting to get you from zero to knitting, including:

• Choosing the right notions (knitting tools) and yarn
• Reading knitting patterns
• Practicing the two basic stitches: knit and purl
• Learning to cast on and off to start and finish perfect projects!

Then, you’ll work with Vincent to complete a cowl using the pattern he created for class. You can also apply the tips and tools Vincent shares to a different knitting pattern that’s inspiring you.  

Whether you’re a beginner who’s struggled to pick up knitting or a longtime dabbler who wants to improve your skills, this is the perfect class, giving you the chance to get up close to a maker in action and see how a final piece of clothing comes together stitch by stitch.
