I’ll Put a Hex on You! Hexagon Stitch and K1 Below Textures

An in-person class with Harry Wells

Nov 12, 2:00-5:00pm PST

Knitting in the stitch below can create stitch patterns with textural or color interest—or both. We’ll learn the K1 Below technique on a two-color check pattern, overview other textures, and then move on to the more complex Hexagon stitch.

Knitting in the Stitch below is a stitch that creates a wide variety of textural interest. We will learn and practice the K1 Below technique on a one-color Twisted Moss pattern, on a two-color check pattern, and other 1, 2, and 3-color textures. Then we move on to the more complex Hexagon stitch, practicing it flat and then in the round on a cowl project. Also, a complex 2-needle cast-on appropriate for the Hexagon Stitch and any other expansive knitted fabric will be taught along with appropriate bind-offs.

Special skills or knowledge needed to take this class:
Participants should be able to accomplish the following without assistance: long-tail cast-on and basic stitches (K, P, SSK, K2 tog)
