Learn to Knit: T-shirt Tote Bag HYBRID

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

Turn those old t-shirts into yarn, and learn some new knitting skills along the way! This class is a fun introduction to knitting in the round, basic lace knitting, and has an interesting pinhole cast-on. We will also be creating our own upcycled yarn! Students should be comfortable with the knit and purl stitch, and have some experience reading a pattern.

Instructor: Amie Palmer

Materials:

Upcycled Bag pattern (provided)

US 15/ 10 mm 24" circular needle + DPNs

Crochet hook in a similar size (doesn't need to match exactly)

6 Adult XL T-shirts or equivalent (smaller shirts are fine but you'll need more of them)

Straight tip medium gauge metal tapestry needle

Washable fabric marking pen that is visible on the T-shirts (or use our classroom pens)

Rotary cutter and acrylic ruler (or use our classroom supplies)
