Class Details:
Join Ana Campos and learn how to knit Portuguese style! We will cover two ways to do the Portuguese knit stitch, and the very easy Portuguese purl—all with the flick of your thumb. We will also cover how to do increases and decreases in the Portuguese style. Portuguese knitting is more efficient and easier on your joints, so it can help reduce strain and fatigue.
