Intermediate

Arne & Carlos

Accessories, Color, Tips & Techniques

This day-long class is the only instruction you'll need for a lifetime of beautifully crafted and well-fitting colorwork hats from Scandinavian design superstars ARNE & CARLOS. You'll learn the designers’ tips and tricks to take your stranded knitting to the next level as well as learn know about the history and uses of traditional Norwegian stranded colorwork. A project like this is a great way to perfect your stranded knitting in the round. As long as you know how to knit and purl, and have experience in stranded colorwork, this class is made for you! The most interesting part of this class will be to work with a yarn that is not usually chosen for traditional colorwork. Knitting the hat in Kidsilk Haze combined with Felted Tweed may seem an unusual choice, but using two ends of this mohair yarn blended with the tweed works beautifully for Fair Isle knitting and gives the traditional Norwegian look a new, updated, and modern twist. Technique Requirements: Intermediate knitting skills needed. Participants should be able to knit and purl, increase and decrease, as well as have some experience in knitting stranded colorwork. This project is suitable for intermediate and advanced knitters.
