Knit 103: Increases and Decreases

$50.00

Instructor: Tamara Oechslin

Date: Saturday, September 19th from 1:00-3:00 PM

In this one session class, join Tamara to learn how to add shaping to your knitting to create a proper fit and a beautiful design! In this class, we’ll discuss the advantages of various techniques as we create left and right-leaning changes to your stitch count through various increases and decreases.

We’ll practice on swatches (see homework notes), but please feel free to bring your in-progress items for which the pattern may ask for a specific increase/decrease. This is an excellent class to boost your level of skill and confidence as a knitter!

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 6-8)

Homework:

You will need a swatch to work on during the class, approximately 4” wide by 1” tall. Prior to class, please:

- Cast on 20 sts, any method.

- Work 6-8 rows in stockinette (knit RS rows, purl WS rows)

- Leave stitches live on needles.
