Knit Skills: Elvan Shawl HYBRID

  • Freeman's Creative LLC 2020 Chapel Hill Road #25 Durham, NC, 27707 United States (map)

Learn the basics of knitting Intarsia designs, with some bobbles for good measure. The Elvan Shawl is a easy-to-wear elongated triangle with beginner-friendly geometric intarsia designs perfect for yarn scraps or mini-skeins. Students should have experience working from a pattern, and be comfortable knitting and purling. This two session class will cover techniques and troubleshooting; we will not complete the project in class.
