Beginner Knitting - Make a Textured Scarf

This class is for true beginners or anyone looking to brush up on some basic knitting skills. We’ll be making The Road Scarf which is great for new knitters to learn different types of textures and stitches. For this project, we’ll learn to make a knit and purl stitch, some basic increases and decreases, casting on and binding off, reading your work, and reading a pattern.

Students should come with a minimum of 600 yards of worsted weight yarn (suggested is Kelbourne Woolens Germantown), and US size 8 needles. Needles can be either wooden or metallic, and circular needles with a 24 inch cable can also be used to work this scarf flat if that is preferred. Here is a link to the free pattern. More detailed information for the pattern can be found here. Materials should be purchased before class, and instructor can provide a discount code for MALT students to Kelbourne Woolens upon request.
