Explore lace knitting in a new graphic way. Aleks Byrd has given lace a new look by layering lace patterns made from yarn overs and decrease stitches seamlessly over top stockinette stitch. We will create a small lace overlay swatch to learn some lace knitting basics and how to seamlessly attach lace panels onto a planned Stockinette swatch. You’ll be ready to tackle fun lace overlay patterns like the Täppid hat & mitts.

SKILL LEVEL
Advanced beginner / intermediate knitter; students should be comfortable to knit and purl, cast-on, bind -off, and reading from charts

HOMEWORK
Students will be given instructions to have their base swatch knit so to be ready to begin with the lace in the workshop. The base swatch should take about 1-1.5 hours to knit.
