In this class, you will learn three different stitches and their modifications to create a fabric that looks as if it was knitted. We will cover a technique that looks like 1x1 knit rib or brioche; faux fair isle or knit stockinette; and a faux knit garter stitch technique. In class, we will make a swatch with each of the stitches and their modifications and then, if time permits, work on a small project together using one of these techniques - the patterns included in the handout are a miniature cardigan and 2 miniature hats (Barbie size).
