Knitting Skill Builder Course in Chicago | Learn Cables, Lace & Charts

Build your knitting skills one square at a time! If you've just learned how to knit, or would like to increase your knitting skills, this is the class for you. Throughout the course you will learn lots of different skills including 12 stitch patterns, pattern reading, chart reading, increases/decreases, bobbles, twisted stitches, lace and cables! This course uses a series of 12 fun patterns that will build your knitting skills. Starting with simple knit and purl stitches, your confidence will grow as you progress through several major knitting principles. Each block focuses on new stitches and techniques in a sequential fashion that “builds” upon the previously learned skill. At the end of the series, the knitter is rewarded with an abundance of knitting know-how and 12 beautiful squares to assemble into a sampler afghan, baby blanket, pillows or anything limited only by your imagination!
