Description
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.
