Let's Knit: Monthly Block-by-Block -- Dishcloths

Beginner Level

Build your knitting skills one block at a time! Use basic knit and purl stitches to create a beautiful, textured dishcloth (or blanket square). Students are required to bring tools and yarn.*

Celebrate 100 years with OCLS. This month, we'll embrace the Jazz Age with Toe Tappin’ Finger Snappin’ Music; trumpets, musical notes, etc. squares. We will review basic stitches while learning how to read knitting charts and creating a beautiful design of knit and purl stitches. Take away a beautiful handmade dishcloth or a square to begin an afghan project.
