Sometimes we all need a little emotional support, and it doesn’t get much better than a soft, squishy chicken in your favorite colors. This class will cover garter stich short rows for shaping, seaming, and assembling techniques, as well as tracking position in a pattern. Students should be comfortable knitting and purling and have prior experience reading a pattern. This pattern is great for using up scraps!
