Learn to Knit
City Knits has four introductory projects specially developed by Karen to teach new knitters the most skills in the least time.   After completing these projects you will be able to tackle almost any project!  Initially you will learn to cast on, knit, purl and cast off as you create a sampler scarf.

The other projects are a simple seamed hat, rolled brim hat and learn to cable scarf. These projects include various cast-ons, increases and decreases, invisible seams, eye cord, buttonholes, cabling, seed stitch and slipped stitch edges. Aggressive Beginners can even start their first sweater that will knit all these new skills together. Your pace is set by you and the amount of homework you do.  Each knitter is different and our instructor will give you individualized attention with your progress.  Students may repeat this beginner series. Registration Required. $60/6 sessions OR $15/session plus materials. Please purchase your materials from City Knits beforehand.
