Festive Knitted Decorations

You will start making the main body of your character in session one and Jo will show you how to change colour and refresh your memory of casting on and off if required.

In the second session you will work on creating the accessories for your decoration including hats, beards and scarfs as needed. Jo will also show you how to make a mini pom pom on a fork. You will then add the features to your decoration by hand sewing them on using yarn.

If you wish to use safety eyes or mini buttons please bring them along with you as they are not included in this course.

Anyone who can knit, pearl, cast on and off to come on this course but Jo will show you how to follow the pattern, increase and decrease and help out if your skills are a little rusty.

You will need a pair of 4mm or size 8 knitting needles. There is no need to bring materials along as they are all provided but feel free to bring some stash yarn along if you wish and you can pick your 2 balls of Stylecraft in different colours to take home for another project.

If you wish to use safety eyes or mini buttons please bring them along with you as they are not included in this course.

You will get 2 balls of Stylecraft Special DK yarn included with this course plus all 3 patterns to take home along with your completed decoration. If you are a fast knitter you may get more than one finished in the time as you can carry on at home between sessions if you wish.
