Mary Scott Huff-2 Strings=Not Scary 

Join colorwork expert Mary Scott huff for an engaging introduction to stranded colorwork knitting. Includes free pattern for either hat OR socks.
In this introduction to stranded colorwork, we will learn the basic moves for handling two strands at the same time, and what is special about the construction of stranded colorwork.  We will practice stranding by swatching in class, then begin this stranded colorwork hat pattern.  No stranded knitting experience is necessary!

Class Materials:
Please bring 3-5 contrasting colors of DK weight yarn and 16” (40 cm) circular needle to match, plus a set of DPNs in the same size.  Aim for a gauge in the neighborhood of 6 sts/in on size 4 (3.5mm) needles. Gauge is approximate because stranding will change it as we work. 
 

Homework: Determine a rough starting gauge by knitting a single-color stockinette swatch.  Using a needle 1 size smaller than the one used for your gauge swatch, CO 128 sts and join for knitting in rounds.  Work 2 rounds in k1 p1 rib (or edging of your choice).
