Workshop Info

This workshop combines slipped stitches with cables in a fun mashup of color and texture. Slipped-stitch cabling is a colorwork technique that is very similar to mosaic knitting; only one color of yarn is used at a time in each round, making it an easy way to produce a sophisticated-looking product.

During the workshop, knitters will practice slipped stitch cables using the Kinetic Energy Hat pattern, a bottom up hat that also features rows of ribbing and garter stitch. They'll need 2 or 3 colors of yarn with a good contrast and either double-pointed needles or a circular needle for working a small circumference in the round.

SKILL LEVEL REQUIRED:  Advanced Beginner

PREREQUISITE:  Read a pattern, knits and purls, work stitches in the round, slip stitches, cables, decreases
