Introduction to Knitting - Festive Decorations

Please note: In August 2024, we are relocating to our new site, Make Hamilton 2! We'll no longer be at Make Hamilton Square on Cleveland Street. Our new address is just around the corner at 69-71 Argyle St, Birkenhead!

Join us for a relaxing workshop where you can practice or learn knitting skills and create something beautiful for the festive season. Knitting decorations is easy once you master basic stitches, and it's a wonderful way to unwind and feel accomplished in just a few hours! You'll be able to take home your handmade decoration, perfect for yourself or as a gift.

In this workshop, you'll learn the essentials: casting on, casting off, knitting, and purling, which are the foundation of all knitting projects. These techniques are perfect for practicing changing yarns and increasing or decreasing stitches, which are key for knitting decorations.

You'll have a variety of seasonal wool and patterns to choose from, and our knitting tutor, Cathy, will guide you through each step to knit your own festive decoration. Whether you're refreshing your skills or learning new ones, this workshop is ideal for the festive period!
