Teen Knitting Camp - West Hartford, CT

Teen Knitting Circle: From Cast-on to Cowl Design This all-levels knitting circle is for the true beginner to the truly advanced. All students will learn or review how to cast on, make knit and purl stitches, get gauge, read patterns, increase and decrease, and seam edges with a fun and fashionable hat project. From there, students will design their own cowl or scarf and increase their knitting skills with personalized instruction. The cowl/scarf design process will teach them the basics of knitwear design and provide opportunities to test and practice new stitches, textures, colorwork, lace, and construction techniques. Date: July 30th - August 3rd, 1pm - 3:30pm Ages: 12 - 18 Experience Level: No experience necessary Equipment and Materials: Studio Provides: 2 sets of knitting needles for you to keep Student Provides: 600 - 700 yards chunky superwash wool.
