Knit a Bold Mitered Pillow to Jazz Up Your Space. We'll use some very basic knitting techniques to achieve a beautiful effect with mitered squares then sew them together to create an accent pillow.
This class is a series, held on Mondays, May 4, 11, 18 & June 1 at 10:15am.
We'll follow A Free Knitted Pillow Pattern by Nimble Needles. The pattern can be adapted to basically any yarn weight and needle size. - The finished look will largely depend on your yarn choices.
During the first class we will review the overall construction, make a 5x5 inch swatch to measure your gauge and discuss customizing your own pillow.

Built in 2005, Winter Garden branch sits at the westernmost part of Orange County. This was the last branch opened before the Great Recession of 2008. Interestingly, this is the only branch in the county built on donated land. Two acres were donated by the family of former citrus grove owner, Sylvester C. Battaglia. S.C. Battaglia’s philosophy, as stated by his son, was to “give back to the community.” The branch’s formal name S.C. Battaglia Memorial Branch, honors his contribution.
Winter Garden Branch has all the charm of a small town library plus all of the resources available through Orange County Library System. Noted for friendly and helpful staff, the branch is now serving a third generation of patrons.
