Which knitting classes can I take?

Knitting classes differ by skill level, technique and project:

• Knitting class for beginners: Casting on, knitting knit and purl stitches, binding off and weaving in ends – usually with a small project such as a headband, washcloth or mug cozy.
• Knitting scarves, hats and socks: Progressive classes for the Sophie Scarf, neckerchiefs, hats or socks – some spread over several sessions.
• Knitting sweaters and tops: For advanced knitters who want to make garments from well-known designer patterns such as the top-down Sonja Sweater by PetiteKnit.
• Hand knitting and finger knitting: With extra-thick chunky yarn you make bags, cushions or blankets without any needles.
• Crochet class: Basic stitches, granny squares and crocheted bags – many partners offer knitting and crochet in the same studio.
• Knitting club and knitting circle: Open sessions such as a Sunday crochet club from €15, where you keep working on your own projects.
• Hen parties, team events and groups: Knitting together for groups of up to 30 people, and at your location on request.

How much do knitting classes cost?

Knitting classes cost between 15,00 € and 211,00 € and usually last around 1 hour to 9 hours 30 minutes, depending on the experience you choose. You'll find all further details directly in the individual event descriptions.

Knitting class: What you will learn

In a knitting class you learn the fundamentals for every knitting project:

• Casting on, for example with the long-tail cast-on
• Knitting knit and purl stitches to create stockinette and garter stitch
• Choosing the right needle size and yarn – from fine sock yarn to chunky wool
• Using stitch markers, working selvedge stitches and reading knitting patterns
• Knitting in the round for hats, socks and top-down sweaters
• Binding off, weaving in ends and fixing small mistakes in your knitting

If you'd like to work with fabric as well as needles and yarn, a sewing class or embroidery course is the natural complement.

Knitting class at home

With the hat knitting box by Alina Holz (€45 plus shipping), intermediate knitters can make a hat at home – yarn, needles and instructions are included. After most classes you take your needles or yarn home and keep knitting your project. A knitting class voucher is also one of the most popular Christmas gifts for mum.
