Knitting 101: Mitts
Instructor: Zoe Scheffy
Have you ever wanted to knit your very own cozy scarf, hat, or mittens? This quick and painless class will give you a taste of what knitting is all about. Spend the afternoon with us, sipping tea, and make your first pair of fingerless mitts.
About the yarn used in this class: Puffin is a plump, chunky, single-ply yarn spun from sturdy American wool fleece. Its felted texture knits up into garments with a soft halo and a broken-in feel. Puffin is great for quick accessories or cozy, wear-all-the-time sweaters.
In this class you will learn how-to:
+ knit
+ cast-on and bind-off
+ finish your knitting (seaming)
+ read a knitting pattern
Required Skills: None! This class is for the absolute beginner.

Zoe’s passion for textiles and handicraft grew from early childhood sewing with her grandmother, a seamstress by trade. Zoe learned to knit as an exchange student in Norway almost 30 years ago, quickly tackling colorwork and cables on projects large and small. She has studied textile traditions in the Nordic countries and has published knitting patterns in Interweave magazines and on Ravelry. Zoe has been a part of the Verb team for over a year.
