Sequence Knitting is a wonderful way to knit using a different mindset than much traditional knitting. It is a kind of pattern-free knitting. Fabric is created through the repetition of a sequence of stitches, like k2, p2. By varying the sequence, the number of stitches, and the way they are repeated, an endless variety of rich textures are possible. Not only can sequence knitting be used for textured knitting, it can also be used for texture with color and even stranded colorwork.

This half-day class is a good place for students to start their sequence knitting journey. The class covers the concept of sequence knitting, the four main methods: 1-row, serpentine, spiral, and shaped 1-row, and gives students a chance to practice three of the methods in knits and purls with small swatches. The class will include several patterns that can be used for simple accessories.
