• Include two or more colors per row
• Manage yarn lengths
• Weave in the “spaghetti” as you go

This workshop is suitable for motivated beginners who can knit and purl. Techniques you'll need to know: Casting on, casting off, knitting, purling

Homework:

Supplies to Bring:

• A selection of 6-10 light or bright colors for the poppy plus 6-10 dark or deeper colors for the background. (A small ball or stout twist is sufficient for each color)

• Scissors
• Tapestry needle
• A ruler for keeping on track with your graph
