Class Details:

Learn to knit one of the most beloved cowls on Ravelry while building the confidence to tackle countless future projects. The Gaptastic Cowl has been a favorite among knitters for more than 15 years thanks to its simple construction, cozy oversized fit, and timeless style. In this workshop, we'll cast on together and work through the techniques that make this project such a satisfying knit. Along the way, you'll learn how to confidently knit in the round, work beautiful, even seed stitch, read your knitting, avoid common mistakes, and bind off loosely for a polished finish.

We'll also talk about yarn substitution, choosing the perfect bulky yarn and adjusting the size to suit your style. Whether you're making your very first cowl or revisiting a modern classic, you'll leave with the skills and confidence to keep knitting long after class ends.
