Supplies Students Must Bring

Your homework swatch, scraps of smooth yarn in a similar weight in various contrasting colors that are at least 3 yards long, a tapestry needle big enough to work with your yarn scraps, a crochet hook sized between US E-4/3.5 mm and US 7/4.5 mm, scissors.

Homework
Knit and bind off a swatch using a smooth, light-colored, worsted-weight yarn in stockinette stitch, knit flat, that is approximately 6"x6". Alternatively, you may bring a similarly-sized piece of store-bought or machine-knitting, as long as the color is light enough to see well and the stitches are large (5 or fewer stitches to the inch).
