In this workshop you will be introduced to the basic techniques of:

  • Casting on
  • Knit stitch
  • Purl stitch
  • How to combine stitches to create garter stitch, stocking stitch and ribbing stitch techniques
  • How to cast off
  • Guidance on where to look for projects and further skills

Included in the price of the workshop:

The workshop will take place in their rustic field shelter called The Lookout and the boys will be brought down into a large handling pen to spend time with you whilst you knit. You will have shelter from inclement weather and lots of hot drinks.
