Trypophobia Shawl Workshop with Xandy Peters

April 6 @ 11:00 am - 2:00 pm

There are many ways to form large holes or in your knitting. My least favorite way to achieve holes is MOTHS! The Trypophobia Shawl uses my favorite technique to create big holes. We will be combining some clever increases and decreases to create openwork motifs in the shawl project. Students will have the opportunity to cast on a shawl project and work the first few pattern repeats in class.

Skills needed:

This class is best suited for intermediate-level knitters or adventurous beginners who have experience reading patterns and working basic increases and decreases.

Supplies:

  • 1 ball of yarn in any weight
  • appropriate size needles for your yarn
  • Optional materials: Crochet hook, note paper/graph paper, a pencil and eraser, highlighters, and a digital row counter.
