1-Day Workshop: Hitchhiker Shawl

Start Date: June 29, 2013
End Date: June 29, 2013

The hitchhiker shawl (click here to see it on Ravelry) is a fun, easy little shawl/scarf knit mostly in garter stitch. It’s reversible, stretchy and lightweight and looks fabulous in any variegated, hand dyed sock yarn. It’s a shallow, asymmetrically shaped triangular shawlette with a saw–tooth edge border that evolves as you knit. Because you start knitting from one end, you can stop any time, therefore making any size you like.
The pattern starts with 2 stitches, adding wider and wider rows forming the shallow triangle and saw tooth edge on one side. You can also make this in thicker yarn and larger size needles and still have lots of fun seeing how this shawl forms out of those 2 stitches. You will need to know how to knit and purl and will learn how to knit into the front and back of a stitch to “make 1”, BO in process and make this uniquely shaped shawl. Easy and fun!!
Materials needed - 1 skein of variegated sock yarn or heavier weight (about 400 yds )
#3 or #4 circular needle or size to fit yarn

THE FINE PRINT: Knitting and Crochet classes are limited to eight students. Once you have signed up and paid for a class within a week of the start date you will receive an confirmation email with a materials list for the first class (if the materials list is not already posted in the class description). We will keep a waitlist for each class and let you know if anyone drops out. If you have to drop out before a class starts, a full refund is only available if we can fill the spot. Because our class sizes are so limited, if we cannot fill the spot, then we cannot offer a refund. We do not offer a refund if you have to drop out of a class once it has already started. We do not offer make up classes if you have to miss a class. We reserve the right to cancel a class if enrollment drops below three students. You would then receive a spot in a future class or a full refund. If you are signed up for a class you receive a 10% discount on materials.
