Saturday 2/15 + 3/15
2:00pm - 4:00pm
Instructor : Laura Eckel
Take your knitting skills to the next level with our Beyond Basics : Knit a Hat workshop! Choose from three hat patterns, which feature three varying levels of difficulty to tailor the class to your skill level! The Cardo Holiday Hat is the most beginner-friendly option - a simple hat pattern that can be customized with stripes or color…or choose to create a solid color hat. On the C Train is a basic one by one ribbed hat with interesting crown decreases. Finally, The Traveler Hat is ideal for those with a bit more knitting experience, but it’s still suitable for beginners. The hat features horizontal ridges of texture and is a great choice for those who like a bit of a challenge, or are eager to up their knitting game!
