Cozy Campfire Hat/Cowl
In this class, I’ll guide you through all the basics of colorwork. You’ll gain all the knowledge needed to be sporting your own fun cowl or gifting it to a lucky someone in your life. We’ll discuss color choices, color dominance, techniques for holding the two yarns, tension, floats, tacking floats.
Skills covered: working in the round, ribbing, increasing, decreasing, reading a pattern, reading a colorwork chart, checking gauge, color dominance, techniques for holding yarn, tension, floats tacking floats, stretchy bind off technique, and blocking. Great pattern to work before taking on the cozy campfire hat, which incorporates magic loop technique.
