Stitches: Textures - Fall 2026 - In Person

Have you ever admired a sweater with Aran or Gansey patterning? Maybe you've always wanted to learn how to craft knits and purls into a cunningly shaped garment.These beautiful designs are created with textural techniques that look complicated but are easy to learn. In this four-workshop class, you will learn chart-reading and -making, as well as many knit and purl stitch patterns, cables, bobbles, and twisted-stitch designs.

For the comfort and safety of our students and teachers, students may be asked to wear a mask during in person classes and workshops, and masks are available upon request.

Format: In-Person

Prerequisite: Knitting II, or equivalent.

Materials Required:

Several skeins of smooth, light-colored, worsted weight yarn. If you have any suitable yarn in your stash, by all means use it. You will be making 12 medium-sized squares so, to be safe, plan on about 90 yards for each swatch. Note: The squares knit in this class could be a great start for a blanket, so you may want to think about that when choosing your yarn; however, this class will not go over joining squares.

Straight or circular needles in a size that gives a gauge you like for your chosen yarn.

Knitter's Pride Chart Keeper or highlighter tape (optional)

Cable needle

A pencil
