Fair Isle/Stranded Knitting Class on Zoom
If you can knit and purl, then you can decorate hats, cowls and gloves with fun, repeating patterns in contrasting colors! In this class you will learn how to juggle two colors at once with smooth, even gauge to make a hat based on a pattern that comes with the class. I will give visual examples demonstrating how stranded and Fair Isle differ from each other, as well as from other types of color work. I will also share additional free motif patterns and video resources to inspire you to design your own projects. This class is good preparation for the Stranded Circular Yoke Sweater class, which starts on November 22nd and meets every other week for three weeks.
Students who enroll in the Stranded/Fair Isle class will also receive a coupon code to save $10 off of the Stranded Circular Yoke Class.
To participate students will need to have the following materials:
- 50 grams each of two contrasting colors of DK weight yarn, preferably in wool that won’t bleed. You can test your yarn for colorfastness and prevent it from bleeding by using this guide.
- US Size 6, 16″ or longer circulars and double pointed needles. Longer needles will require you to use magic loop technique while knitting.
- At least 12 stitch markers.
- A yarn needle to weave in ends.
- Please cast on and knit the ribbing for your hat *BEFORE* coming to class so you can jump right into learning the technique. Use your darker color and circular needles to cast on 100 stitches. Knit 1.5″ of k2, p2 ribbing. If this ribbing is too large or small for the intended head, frog and cast on again, increasing or decreasing the number of stitches by a multiple of 4. Do not bind off.
Students will receive the pattern and Zoom link for this class upon registration.
