Build knitting skills 1 square at a time! This weekly Knit-A-Long will focus on 2 new stitches per month. Come for one or take them all to create beautiful squares, perfect for a sampler blanket.

This is an open weekly series, designed to help knitters build up knitting skills & techniques. We will work on one stitch for 2 weeks, each week can stand alone, designed for you to make a freestanding block or dishcloth, or combine them all at completion and learn how to stitch your beautiful blocks together into a sampler afghan.

Mock Cable Stitches can achieve a similar look of cables without the fuss of a cable needle. This project will combine lace and a mock cable stitch to create a beautiful intricate pattern,
as you become more comfortable reading charts and working multiple stitch patterns.

Class Duration: 1 3/4 hours
Age Requirements: Adult
Required Skills: Someone who grasps the most basic stitches and can finish simple patterns with aid.
