Machine Knitting Course

Learn the ins and outs of machine knitting during KNITWARD workshop in central London.



2 x 6 hours Class size 1 to 2 guests       £270

Join this 2-day (Saturday and Sunday) weekend machine knitting workshop for beginners in King's Cross, London, and get to grips with the fundamentals of the domestic knitting machine. Over two days, this hands-on course will guide you through the essential skills needed to operate the machine and create your own fabrics, all within a friendly, small-group setting.
Over the two days, you’ll learn all the essential skills to get started. You'll gain an understanding of the machine, tools, and begin creating beautiful textures and patterned fabrics.
Day 1: Getting Started
You’ll begin with the basics, learning how to cast on and off, transfer stitches, and build confidence using the machine. You will create an open work sample while exploring key techniques such as pin tuck, weave, and jacquard.
Day 2: Building Texture and Form
On the second day, your focus will shift to the remaining techniques available on a domestic knitting machine. You'll explore tucking, partial knitting, and using the holding position to create fascinating 3D and textured effects. You will have time to experiment and combine methods to develop your own unique fabric samples.
You’ll leave the workshop feeling confident in your newfound abilities, ready to continue your machine knitting practice. You'll also take away the beautiful, textured fabric samples you created over the weekend.

Recent reviews of Machine Knitting Course

  • 5/5 from Catherine Mackenzie, attended Mar 2026: I had a great time on the course. I knit but had never used a knitting machine before - I learned so much that I’m now going to buy one. We covered lots of different techniques and Hania was so nice, patient and thorough. I’d definitely recommend the course and aim to go back for a further one In the future
  • 5/5 from Philip Reynolds, attended Mar 2026: I recently attended a two day, weekend course at Hannia's studio, Knitward London. It was such a great experience. The atmosphere is very relaxed and friendly, and Hania is such a patient teacher. With a small group of students, she always had enough time to give us attention and guide us through different knitting techniques. The studio itself is very spacious, with well maintained knitting machines amazing selection of yarns in all sorts of colours. I'm really looking forward to joining Hania for the another course over five days in May. Sign up, you will enjoy the experience at Knitward London
  • 5/5 from Isobel, attended Jan 2026: Hania is such an amazing, patient and knowledgeable teacher with a beautiful studio. I thoroughly enjoyed my weekend with her which pushed me to learn things I had thought were totally beyond my skillset! I will definitely be returning for another of her classes as soon as possible. Can't recommend enough!
  • 5/5 from Oya Yıldız, attended Dec 2025: The class was amazing, I had a great time. Hania (The teacher) was so helpful and her instructions were very clear. We covered so many techniques in just 2 days. I reccomend it to everyone who wants to learn how to knit on a domestic machine.
  • 5/5 from Magdalena Binkowska, attended Nov 2025: Hania is extremely patient, well organised and a very friendly teacher. She gave us very clear instructions which were followed by notes to ensure that we don’t forget anything. Small class size allowed Hania to guide us whenever we needed help. Very welcoming atmosphere and cookies were a bonus. After a two-day course I was confident enough to buy a machine and try all the technics I had learnt. Highly recommend this course
