Event Registration

Students will work with basic knitting skills to create a warm and cozy shawl perfect for the chilly autumn evenings.

Class members will need 900 yards of fingering weight yarn. The pattern calls for 2 colors of equal amount. The knitter may add a third color, as the teacher has done. The yarn sleeve will have the needle size. The pattern suggests a #4 circular needle, at least 24 inches long.
