Beginner's knitting - create a pompom hat
What you'll do
Make your own cute pompom hat in this crafty experience. Sitting Knitting is opening its doors to complete beginners for this workshop - so don't be shy! Join them in their Sutton Coldfield studio to get started.
Knitting isn't a difficult skill to master, but does require some good basic instructions and quite a lot of patience and practice. Thankfully your top-notch host will show you the ropes.
In this workshop, you will spend time mastering the basics - learning how to cast on to begin your project, brushing up on the knit and purl stitch, plus simple decreasing and sewing up techniques. Once everyone is comfortable, you will move onto your project, a simple but fabulous knitted beanie made in pure wool - something that you'll be proud of and wear for years to come!
Materials included are:
- 20g of West Yorkshire Spinners pure wool for your knitting practice
- 100g of West Yorkshire Spinners pure wool (in a colour of your choice) for your hat
- 4mm Knit Pro bamboo knitting needles
You will also need a yarn sewing needle (not provided as many people will have one), they're available to buy in the shop, if necessary. Tea, coffee and cake will be provided to aid the creative process! Ready to get your craft on?
