Learn how to knit stranded colorwork with a fun Doodle cowl by Jamie Lomax! Stranded colorwork knitting, also known as Fair Isle or two-handed knitting, combines two or more colors in a single row to create intricate patterns and designs. This technique results in a rich, textured fabric. Often used for sweaters, hats, and accessories, colorwork allows knitters to explore their creativity by blending hues and creating visually striking motifs. Embrace the challenge and delight in the beauty of your handmade creations.

Our experienced instructor, Sarah, will guide you through every step of creating your Doodle Cowl. Class instruction includes how to read a colorwork chart, how to knit stranded colorwork, handling floats and overall construction of your cowl. You’ll be able to pick your preferred colorwork pattern for this class from a bundle of patterns so you can make a unique Doodle cowl!

Learn to steek without fear!

Steeking is a technique in which you cut your knitting to transform items knitted in-the-round into flat fabric — especially helpful for stranded colorwork so you’re never purling with multiple colors.

You will learn a few methods to reinforce a steek, how to muster the courage to cut into your work, and different methods of beautifully and securely finishing a steek. We will also discuss how to use a steek to convert a pullover to a cardigan and to knit a flat colorwork pattern in the round. Students should come to class with a small colorwork swatch to steek.
