Is steeking on your knitting bucket list? Why would you knit something in the round to knit a flat object? How can you keep your cut knitting from falling apart? So many questions, and we have the answers! This coaster class is gentle introduction to crocheted steek reinforcement. You’ll knit the homework, and we’ll reinforce, cut, and finish in class. Previous crochet experience not required.
