Knitting Classes for Beginners w/ Greta Pastorello

Register Here

Project: Small Placemat

The placemat in the picture measure 10X13 inches

Approximate time required: 2 Classes of 1h and 30 min. (It may be required to knit a little bit in  between classes, depending on individual speed and beginning level and if familiar or not with  the needle/yarn handling).

Materials:
– One pair of knitting needles n.7
– 2 skeins of cotton yarn for needles size US 7 (In the picture: Peaches & Cream-Original, you can find it in Walmart)
– One crochet hook approximate size H/8 (or suitable for the yarn size we are using). The crochet hook is useful to help correct mistakes, like when you have a dropped stitch to pick up and to wave in ends.
– Scissors
– Measuring tape (in case also a ruler would work fine)
– Suggested: Knitting stitch markers rings (at least 6)
– Suggested: Tapestry needle suitable for knitting projects (metal or plastic) to easily wave in ends or add decorations.
