About

Beginning with the basics, this class will teach you how to cast on, knit, purl, and cast off at the end — everything you need to complete a scarf. During class, you'll make a gauge swatch to learn the stitches in a small format before casting on a scarf that you can work on for the remainder of class, ending with a knit sample of some of the ways to use the simple knit/purl combo.

We'll also talk about planning projects, including choosing needle size and yarn, as well as how to care for knitted items.

Details

A materials fee of $25, included in the price of class, covers everything you'll need. 

Class Policies

Ages 14 and up are welcome.

Instructor
Betsy Hagestedt

Betsy has been working with fiber since she was in elementary school, having learned to sew and knit from her mom. As an anthropologist, she uses her fiber practice as a means of connecting with people from other cultures, embracing the universal nature of fiber arts. Knitting gradually became her specialization due to its portability as she began to travel around the world. You can see some of her fiber experiments on her Instagram feed at behestknits. Since starting at BARN she has been learning as many new skills as possible. She is highly involved in torchworking in the Glass Studio, and has started dabbling with welding and woodturning.
