Knit a Hat - an introduction to circular knitting

One of our most popular workshops! Hats are a great introduction to the techniques required in larger projects such as sweaters. In this class you will learn how to knit on circular and double-pointed needles, and how to use decreases for shaping, while making a cozy cap or slouchy hat in the yarn of your choice.

Prerequisites: Participants will need to know basic knitting skills - casting on, knit and purl stitches
