There are many ways to make your knits your own. First and foremost, once you understand all the information set out in the pattern, you can plan how you want to change it. The next step is to choose whether to substitute the yarn type and colour. There are also many techniques for modifying as you go or working decorations into or onto your piece. This class will go through the pattern, teaching you the standard pattern elements so you can change what you want to make it unique. We will cover:

 – Choosing yarn

 – Elements of a pattern

 – Changing it up

 – If there’s time, surface embellishments (beading & embroidery).

Wildacres is knit in the round. There will be an opportunity to learn to knit in the round if you have not tried this before.

Materials for Wildacres: leftover DK yarn and 4.5mm circular needles (80cm long) (or size required to get gauge 20sts x 28rows / 10cm over st st)

Optional: If you have them, please bring a st st or ribbed square or even an old knit that could do with some “je ne sais quoi”!
