Mastering Short Rows with the Medici Hat - Fall 2026 - Virtual

We will learn the 4 most popular methods of working short rows and knit a sampler with them before tackling the Medici Hat, which uses short rows to shape it. We'll go over the purpose and uses of short rows, as well as how to substitute one method for another if your pattern isn't written for the method you like best. We will also learn how to work a provisional cast on, as well as Kitchener Stitch (aka Grafting) to finish the hat. All techniques will be taught in class, so no previous experience in these techniques is necessary.

You will receive the Zoom link 1-2 business days before the virtual class.
