Mittens 101

Cost: $70 for 2 hours
Teacher: Kate

Mittens are not only a key winter wardrobe item, and a great gift, but they’re also a terrific way to learn some new knitting skills. This class takes knitters through a mini “training” mitten – a classic cuff-up mitt with gusset thumb – so that they can learn everything they need about making mitts in a short amount of time, and then gets them started on a pair of full size mittens. We’ll also talk about how to make fingerless versions, and other style and fit customizations.

Skill Level: Advanced beginner – knitters must be comfortable with knit, purl and ribbing; some experience working in the round is preferable but not absolutely required
Materials Required: scrap medium-weight yarn & 4mm/US #6 DPNs or magic loop; for the full-size mitts, 220 yds medium-weight wool or wool-blend yarn
