Time: 10:00A to 2:00P

Class description: 

In this intermediate class, we’ll build on the basics and explore two new stitches; a variation of Oslo, as well as a Finnish stitch introducing some new concepts.  We’ll take a closer look at different ways to connect stitches and how those choices affect fabric structure and texture. Students will apply these techniques by working a hat in the stitch of their choice. 

This class assumes the student has basic Nålbinding skills and ability to work the Oslo stitch. As a prerequisite, it’s recommended that you have taken the instructor’s Intro to Nålbinding class, or work through the Kasha’s Knits Beginner Nålbinding PDF Workbook available at kashasknits.etsy.com.
