Knitting Building Blocks Part A
Are you ready to expand your knitting skills? In the “Building Blocks for Knitting Class, each week we will explore a new knitting technique from knit/purl textures, cables, bobbles, and lace - oh my! By the end of the series, students will have created twelve sampler blocks which may be joined into a cozy throw.
Skill Requirements – This class is designed for students who are solidly comfortable with casting on, knitting, and purling stitches flat.
Materials List
- “Building Blocks” book by Michelle Hunter, available at Acorn Street Shop; or e-book on Ravelry here, Building Blocks.

Homework
Feel free to swatch with your yarn prior to the first class in a stockinette stitch pattern, if desired. (Stockinette swatch: cast on 24 stitches, then alternate knitting a row then purling a row for approximately 4 inches, bind off.) Bring your swatch to the first class, and we can chat briefly about gauge, fabric, and needle size. Exact gauge is not crucial for this project.
