Description:
This class introduces knitters to the basics of stranded colorwork through the South Philly Skulls Cowl pattern. Students will learn how to read a colorwork chart, manage floats, and maintain even tension while working with two colors. The project is knit in the round, making it a good first step into stranded colorwork for knitters who already know how to knit, purl, and work in the round. By the end of class, participants will have made strong progress on their cowl and gained the confidence to take on future colorwork projects.
