Oslo Hat Class - Combine Multiple Yarns

Teacher: Kate Smith

$100 for four, two-hour sessions

Do you have a basic knowledge of how to knit and want to learn new techniques? Puzzled by patterns that call for two strands of yarn held together?

Join this class to receive step-by-step guidance on making the Oslo Hat pattern by popular Danish designer Petite Knit.

Topics covered in this class:

• Understand weights of yarn, and what weight you get when use two strands at one time
• Calculate how much yarn you actually need when a project calls for multiple strands
• Combine strands of different bases of yarn (such as mohair and wool) to create a unique fabric
• How to wind yarn hanks into cakes
• Swatch in the round - save time and frustration by making and blocking a swatch
• Choose a size in a pattern, and read a pattern that has multiple sizes
• Knit in the round on a circular knitting needle
• Create a professional-looking, triple-folded hat brim
• Decrease your stitches evenly to shape the top of a hat
• Use the Magic Loop technique to knit a small circumference (the top of the hat)

Students should already know how to:

• Cast on (long-tail cast on)
• Create knit stitches
