knitting series 201: building blocks blanket - part 2
This is the second part of our Building Blocks Blanket series. This class is a great next step for new knitters, especially those who have completed our Building Blocks Blanket: Part 1 class.
This class takes you through a series of fun patterns that will build your knitting skills. Each week you will work on a different block. Each block focuses on new stitches, start week 1 with a basic pattern and each week the skill level builds hence the name "building blocks".
Patterns taught within part 1 and 2: Cables, slip stitches, left twist, right twist, make one, mock cables, SSK, a basic design charted, lace and bobbles. Pattern will be demonstrated in class and then you will work on your own block. There is a significant amount of homework each week and after the first week it is necessary to come to class with the border done ready for that week's block.
Week 1: We will cast on for the first block and learn the seed stitch for the border. We will then review the pattern for the first block and it will be demonstrated by the instructor. You will then start working on your own block.
Week 2 + onwards: You will come to class with the border already knitted for that weeks block. The pattern will be reviewed and then demonstrated. You will then start your block.
