Learn to Knit Course for Beginners

Start knitting with this fun course in Henley-on-Thames or Caversham.



3 x 2 hours Class size 1 to 6 guests       £95 (PayPal Pay in 3 available)

In this knitting workshop in Henley-on-Thames or Caversham, you’ll learn how to knit if you've never knitted before, if you can't quite remember how to, or if you do not feel confident enough yet to take the next step.
You will learn how to:
  • Cast on
  • Knit
  • Purl
  • Increase
  • Decrease
  • Cast off
  • Fix mistakes
We will follow the pattern of the first three squares of the Woolly Wol Blanket, which is knit on 6 mm needles. This means it’ll grow quickly and feel super satisfying.
A ball of wool and needles for you to knit with are included in the price of the workshop, or you could upgrade and get a full Woolly Wol Blanket Kit so you can knit the whole blanket!
What to expect:
  • Knit squares that will be sewn together to make a blanket
  • Learn garter stitch
  • Learn stocking stitch
  • Learn increases and decreases
  • Learn how to fix mistakes
Work in a small group (maximum of 6 knitters) for a more personal experience.
Choose the standard Woolly Wol Blanket colourway or create your own combination.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll have knitted at least three squares of your blanket and have gained the skills and confidence to continue on to the Learn to Knit for Intermediate Level course in the future.
