Edges Bordering on Perfection: An Introduction to Knitted Borders
Perfect borders can be a pain to pick up. Learn to prepare for borders with neat edges on your knitting and how to pick up perfectly every time. You’ll work swatches with four different types of edges as homework, then in class learn to determine the right number of stitches to pick up for your borders and a variety of ways to pick them up. Be prepared for perfectly elegant borders on all your future garments.
This small group class is presented in collaboration with John C. Campbell Folk School and Lessonface. Students are invited to attend an optional Orientation and Closing Ceremony to connect with various online Folk School classes.
Class Materials
Students should provide:
Plain, smooth, light-colored, worsted weight yarn in two contrasting colors (one for swatches, the other for borders). Needles sized appropriately for the yarn for the swatches (US#6-8/4-5 mm) and needles two sizes smaller for some of the borders. Note that stretchy wool yarn will be easiest to work with
Additional documentation about materials and class work will be provided once registered participants access the private class page.
