Two-Handed Colourwork (My Canada Hat) / TBD

Wednesday, June 3, 6:30 to 8:30

Katie Pomper's My Canada hat pattern includes several colourwork charts from which you can choose and also three different yarn weights to knit your hat in. You truly can make it your own!

For this class, we will work together on the Buffalo plaid pattern, through which you will learn how to knit colourwork with two hands, using both continental and English styles of knitting (i.e., picking and throwing). With some practice (and possibly tensioning adjustments), you should be able to create a consistent gauge with both hands. 

You will also learn about colour dominance in colourwork, how and when to catch your floats, and how to read a colourwork pattern. 

The brim will need to be completed before the class.

Supplies needed:

• DK or worsted weight yarn in four colours (at least 30 g each)
• 3 mm & 3.5 mm 16" circular needles for DK hat; 3.75 mm & 4.5 mm 16" circular needles for worsted weight hat (DPNs or longer-cord circulars will be needed later for top of hat)

The pattern is included in the price of this workshop and will be sent to you through Ravelry.
