Learn to knit quick and easy hats, with super bulky yarn!
You can knit one up in an evening or two.
With two skeins of yarn you can make one for yourself and one for a friend!
The pattern is sized for babies, toddlers and children too!

prerequisites

Participants need to be able to knit and to purl. Experience knitting in the round (with circular needles) would be an asset, but not necessary, as we can show you how to do it.

What you will learn:

You will learn how to cast on and knit in the round using circular needles. You will learn how to make Latvian braids. They are easy and fun to make. You will learn to finish your hat so it looks professional, by weaving in ends neatly and adding decorative pompoms.

You will see samples of hats made with Super Bulky yarn in four different patterns, in addition to the ones we make in class!

What to bring:

• Two colours of Super Bulky weight yarn (87 meters/100 grams of each colour) (we recommend Lana Grande!)
  
• Colour coordinated pom pom
  
• 10.0 mm (16" circular needles)
  
• 9.0 mm (16" circular needles)
  
• Stitch markers
  
• Tapestry needle
  
• Scissors
  

The pattern for this class is included in the class fee, and will be provided to you on the first day of class. For reference, it can be found here: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/banded-braids-beanie
