Introduction to Knitting

Participants will learn the basic skills of knitting, which include how to cast on, knit, purl, bind off, increase, decrease and knit in the round. You will learn how different fiber contents (wool, cotton, silk, etc.) contribute to a finished product. You will also discuss color theory and how to select and combine colors in a project. Projects will include a headband or fingerless mitts, an infinity scarf, and a beanie style hat (with a pom pom).
