Craftucation Course
Take your initial knitting skills to the next stage, learning many new skills and creating three attractive and useful projects.
Building on Knitting for Beginners 1, you will learn a second cast-on technique, how to knit two stitches together, make yarn overs, use stitch markers and use knit and purl stitches to create wonderful textures in your fabric. You will also learn how to follow a knitting pattern and be introduced to the concept of charts.
You can also purchase a kit (£20) containing everything you need to complete the project, apart from a pair of scissors and a pen. All kit contents are high quality and, where possible, made of natural materials.
