Learn basic shaping through 2 dishcloth patterns through step-by-step instruction and practice.

Learn the basics of knitting through casting on, knit stitch, purl stitch and binding off. These skills will enable the knitter to make anything that will be square or rectangular. But the exciting part of knitting starts with shaping skills that will make other shapes and eventually garments possible. This class will explore increases, decreases and simple short-row techniques to make a bias-knit washcloth and then a pin-wheel shaped washcloth.
