Class Details:
Japanese knitting patterns often include useful techniques as well as great designs. This class will introduce you to an assortment of tips and techniques from Japanese patterns and instruction books. Most are variations or refinements of techniques that you already know, but they can be useful additions to your “tool box.” Among other things, we’ll look at: variations on three-needle bind-off; a couple of vertical buttonholes; ribbed cast-on variations; sewn bind-off variations; Japanese bobbles worked with a crochet hook. Technique Requirements: Knit/purl; cast on/bind off; increase/decrease; chart reading; have knit a few accessories; basic finishing techniques
Homework:
None
Supplies for Class:
Small amounts of yarn for swatching and appropriately sized needles; I suggest sport- to worsted-weight and size US 5/3.75mm to US 8/5mm needles; one or two crochet hooks.
