Beginner Knitting: Knit a Scarf (Cambridge)

Beginner Knitting: Knit A Scarf 

Want to learn how to knit? This is the perfect class for beginners to learn with hands-on guidance.  We will be using soft, large gauge yarn to make it even more cozier and easier.  At the end of the class, you will learn how to do every step to complete your project. 

During the workshop, you’ll Learn:
- How to cast on (or begin your project)
- How to do a simple knit stitch
- How to finish your project and weave in ends
- Optional:  learn how to purl stitch

We’ll also discuss how to read a pattern, basic garment care, different types of knitting needles and their uses, different types of yarn and how to pick yarn for a project, how to make different sizes of scarves, and how to fix mistakes. 

For the advanced beginner or the adventurous, we will also teach how to create a 'Keyhole' in your scarf to tuck in the other end!

All materials are provided for this class (super chunky yarn, knitting needles).  All you need to bring is yourself and your curiosity. We can’t wait to knit with you!  

Note:  Knitting is a time-consuming hobby because it takes time to make every stitch.  Most people (unless you are making a small scarf) will not complete the project in 2 hours, but will finish it at home.

How do I book for a workshop?

Can I bring my child to a workshop?

Yes, please make sure that your child is at least as old as the minimum age requirement  for the workshop and that they are accompanied by an adult.  Each adult can bring up to two minors to a workshop.  Each child should have their own ticket and no more than 1 adult caretaker.   

Can I bring a guest to a workshop?

If you have a last minute addition to your group, please call the store to see if there is enough seating or materials available.  If so, you can pay for their ticket upon arrival at the store.  Last minute accommodations are up to the discretion of the store staff and host.  We recommend booking your tickets at least 24 hour in advance.

All workshop attendees need to have their own ticket.  However, an adult caretaker can accompany a minor younger than 18 years old free of charge (one adult per minor please).  Check your workshop details for minimum age requirements to ensure that the workshop is appropriate for the minor.  

Can I take my project home?

In most workshops, you will be able to complete and take the project home.  However, some projects require curing or drying time and may need to stay at the store until ready.  Please check your workshop description for details.

We can refund or reschedule your workshop as long as you let us know at least 24 hours prior to the workshop.  Please see our Refund Policy here for more details.

What should I do if I'm running late for my workshop?

We understand that traffic and emergencies happen and hope that you can make it to your workshop on time.  If you arrive late, we will do our best to catch you up on the content and steps covered for the workshop, but your host is not able to stay beyond the scheduled end time for the workshop.  If you cannot make it to your workshop, you can transfer your ticket to another person and they can attend in your place.  Unfortunately we do not offer refunds or reschedules for no shows.  Please see our Refund Policy here for more details.
