Knitting 1.5: The Purl Stitch (In Person)
Building on the beginning knitting class, students will take their work a step further by learning the purl stitch. The purl is considered one of the foundational stitches in knitting. In addition to learning the stitch, we will also learn how to read it when written in patterns and to combine it with the knit stitch, for effects such as ribbing and seed stitch.
Students must know how to cast on and the knit stitch. Materials will be provided.
