Fair Isle Christmas Stocking Class

This class is designed for knitters who have always wanted to try their hand at Fair Isle (stranded) knitting but were afraid to give it a go on their own. This Christmas stocking is a small enough project that it won't overwhelm, but large enough to let your fingers get used to using two yarns at once. (Muscle memory is a thing, y'all!)

To successfully complete this class you should know how to knit, purl, increase, decrease and pick up stitches.

You will learn how to use two colors of yarn in a round, how to catch floats (the unused yarn) and how to use the knitted kitchener stitch on the toe. 

Pattern is included in the class (you should receive a pdf by email after checkout).

You must bring with you:

• worsted weight yarn, wool or acrylic, one skein each red, green and white (or off white) 
• two (2) 16" circular needles, size US7 and two (2) size US6**

Two non-consecutive Thursdays, Nov. 16 & 30, 2023 3-5 pm at Mars Landing Galleries. 

**If you are comfortable with the magic loop method, you may use one each of US6 & 7, at least 32" long.
