Mittens are one of those great projects that can be made with a
small amount of yarn in a short amount of time. This class will knit
a baby mitten in a medium-weight wool, to get experience in all the
techniques with less knitting. Students will receive both a baby
mitten pattern and multiple-gauge child & adult mitten pattern which
we will learn to use in class. Techniques covered will include
casting on and knitting in the round (using either dpns or two
circulars), gusset shaping, picking up a thumb, and basic
decreasing. Students must be able to knit and purl independently,
and be able to distinguish knit and purl stitches in their fabric.
