Have you been dreaming about learning to knit for quite a bit of time now? Maybe you’ve been held back by thoughts that it’s hard, or it will take a lot of time you don’t have, or you just don’t know where to start? If so, I created this class especially for you!

In this super short (less than half an hour!) knitting class for absolute beginners, you’ll join me to learn 3 most basic knitting techniques while creating your first knit project - a chunky, cozy headband with a twist. This project is quick to make, as it uses thick yarn, and is super practical - you can wear it in the fall & winter to keep you warm, or gift it to a close person!

It’s a class for creative home lovers that want a quick jumpstart into a new craft, or for busy people that want to see the results of learning fast!

In these short lessons you’ll learn:

what basic tools you need to actually start knitting
how to cast on using a Backwards Loop Cast On method
how to do the basic stitch in knitting: the knit stitch
how to close the stitches using Standard Bind Off method
how to finish your headband: weave in ends and seam to create a twist

Additionally I created a class guidebook with information complementary to the class - it contains:

a list of linked tools & supplies options,
tips on modifying the headband - so you can use any yarn you have!
a quick guide to planning your next project - a scarf

To create the project in the class, you’ll need a few supplies (options provided in the guidebook!):

approx. 50g of bulky weight yarn - or any yarn you have at home
8 mm (US 11) knitting needles - straight or circular - or in size matching your yarn
tapestry needle
scissors

Hope to see you in the class!
