Date: Saturday, March 7th from 1-3 PM
Instructor: Tamara Oechslin
Learn to knit cables! This technique of working stitches out of order creates beautiful twisted patterns. In this single session class, you will learn basic techniques for left- and right-twisted cables as well as how these stitches can be combined to form more intricate textures of crossing layers.
We will discuss pattern reading for cables in both words and charts and create a sample swatch with differing cable types to get comfortable with the technique.
Materials:
Instructions provided
~100 yards of DK/worsted yarn (a lighter, solid color in a flexible wool is preferred)
Appropriate needles for yarn (US size 5-8)
Cable needle/hook (Tamara recommends the Clover 341 cable stitch holder, available at Knit)
