Explore the elegant world of shawl knitting in this workshop, where we will focus on crafting mini prototypes of shawls in three distinct shapes: asymmetrical, triangular, and crescent. You will learn specialized techniques that are essential for shawl knitting, including the Garter Tab Cast On, which provides a seamless start for many shawl patterns; the KYOK (Knit, Yarn Over, Knit) double increase stitch, which creates beautiful, decorative increases; and techniques for evening out yarn overs to ensure your fabric has a consistent, professional appearance. This class is designed to give you the skills and confidence to tackle a variety of shawl projects with these foundational shapes and techniques.
Yarn: 3 to 5 partial skeins of DK weight yarn, about 10gr each. Needles: Circular needles suitable for DK weight yarn. 4 locking stitch markers to help keep track of the pattern construction.
