Learn to knit a squishy Artist’s Point Cowl in this beginner-level class taught by Dorothy Broomall, owner of local Dappled Fern yarn shop. Students will learn basic skills like how to read a knitting pattern, how to prepare your yarn, knit stitch, purl stitch, cast on, cast off, how to fix mistakes, and wash/block finish. We’ll use a bulky, super soft 100% merino yarn hand-dyed by regional dyers and inspired by North House! We’ll take a field trip to knit at Dappled Fern one afternoon for a fun change of scenery and students will have plenty of time to work on their projects and get support from the instructor as they knit up their cowl. Great for beginners or those wanting to brush up on basic knitting skills!
All students will receive:
- 1 skein of bulky We Love Grand Marais Yarn in the North House colorway
- 1 set of needles
- Artist's Point Cowl pattern
- Project bag

Want a different color of yarn? We’ll have a few other colorways available in class if you want to swap. Please contact the instructor in advance if you need a non-wool yarn option.
