Learn how to knit in the round on circular needles and double pointed needles in our Mis/Matching Hat & Mitts Workshop! While you are working on making a hat and mitts, our experienced instructor, Aamena, will guide you through the techniques of knitting circular objects, increasing and decreasing while knitting in the round, and how to switch from circular needles to DPN’s. Become confident in working circular objects with Aamena.
