Class Details:
The Fox Paws Wrap is known for its iconic, interlocking stripe pattern and for its reputation as a challenging but rewarding project. If you’ve always wanted to make one or have started the pattern but want in-person guidance, this class will build on a basic knowledge of stacked stitches to increase your confidence and accuracy. We will make a swatch in class, working row by row to learn how each stripe fits together in the pattern. Students will learn multiple approaches to checking their own work and fixing problems that arise. We will also briefly talk about creating a color palette and practice weaving in the ends of each color at the end of each stripe to save time during finishing.
Technique Requirements: Have a basic knowledge of the stacked-stitch technique
Homework:
Bring an example of a previous stacked stitch project or swatch. Those who have never tried stacked stitches will benefit from taking the Intro to Stacked Stitches class in conjunction with this class.
Supplies for Class:
Yarn: Worsted-weight scrap yarn in multiple colors and 5 colors of yarn in the weight of your choice for a final project. Needles: Size 8 (5mm) 20" circular needles. Extra needles in adjacent sizes may be helpful. Please bring metal or plastic needles if possible. Optional materials: Stitch markers, scratch paper, highlighter tape, unwaxed dental floss or cotton string, and a digital row counter.
