Intermediate Knitting | Pattern Reading & Swatch Making$40.00 Returning in 2025! Select a date from the drop-down menu. If you’d like to see this class offered again, please join our Interest List today and/or email us a note! In this intermediate knitting workshop, students will gain confidence reading from a pattern, including starting the project, swatching best practices, and tying off, as well as how to read a basic pattern to pick up new projects and learn more at home. Guided by Paige Plihal, a long-time knitter and sewist, we will also discuss concepts like yarn substitutions and needle size so you can plan your next project confidently. Students will also create a swatch with common increases and decreases to understand shaping. Students are encouraged to bring their own worsted weight yarn and needles (size 8-10), but we’ll have both on hand to use as well. A great needle for use in this class can be purchased here. Students are also welcome to bring a printed pattern they have specific questions about and Paige will provide examples as well. All materials included. Requirement: Students must know the following skills for this class: casting on, knit and purl stitches. Recommended age: 12+ years. • Military and sibling discounts: Email us for more information. • Scholarships available: Click here for an application. • Homeschoolers: Click here for enrollment details. • If this class is full, click here to be added to the Interest List. • If you would like to be notified of future offerings, join the Interest List to be notified when new dates or spaces are available.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR: Paige Plihal is a sewist, knitter, and dye artist who will try anything crafty once! A love of craft and a DIY spirit were always encouraged in her childhood (she learned to sew at 8 years old), and she began sewing in earnest in 2009. After a four-year stint selling home-sewn baby carriers and accessories on Etsy, she found the online sewing community and leapt head-first into garment sewing. She hasn’t looked back. She loves melding fashion and style while building an intentional wardrobe for the relaxed Southern California sunshine when sharing her creative journey. Paige’s favorite fabrics are linen, silk, denim, and leather, and she loves empowering other creatives to try new substrates and explore new crafts.
