Join us for one of the season’s most on-trend crafts in this knitting workshop in Brighton. This jumbo knit cardi workshop is a relaxed, hands-on experience where you’ll learn how to hand knit using your fingers your own beautifully soft, chunky cardigan. No needles or tools are required -- just your hands, creativity, and a love of making.
This workshop is ideal for complete beginners and anyone looking for a mindful, creative break. You’ll be guided step-by-step through essential finger knitting techniques, learning how to build structure, shape, and achieve a polished finish for your finished cardi.
What to expect:
  • Before starting, you can try a medium garment (typically fitting UK sizes 10–18) to decide your preferred fit, and all models shown are wearing this size.
  • You’ll work with vegan-friendly chunky chenille yarn chosen for its warmth, texture, and soft handle.
  • The finished cardigan is softly structured with a relaxed, boxy fit and drop shoulders, making it a versatile layering piece for all seasons -- hand wash encouraged!
  • There will be an additional amount to pay for your yarn at the workshop.
  • Learn finger knitting techniques to construct your jumbo gilet (no tools required).
  • Learn how to build structure, shape, and achieve a beautiful finish.

Paula fell in love with all things artistic at a young age, whilst helping her multi-talented artist mother in her Covent Garden studio in the 1970s. Growing up in an environment buzzing with creativity, Paula went on to study a specialist Knitwear Degree at Middlesex.
After finishing university, Paula enjoyed a long & successful career working in fashion as a knitwear designer at a senior level with many of the UK's leading businesses.
Paula decided to follow her long held dream of running her own business & Cocoon&me was born. From the very start, the aim has been to create a brand of beautiful things for like-minded people whilst respecting the people & planet that we all rely upon.
Over the last few years, Cocoon&me have been exploring the therapeutic benefits of crafting, developing our fun, small group workshops teaching maker's skills, & creating our range of textile kits & patterns, giving the opportunity for you & your friends to make your very own bespoke & beautiful pieces.
