About this experience

Class Schedule: Saturday, August 23.  11 AM - 3 PM

Class Instructor: Julie Langasek

This class is one sessions long. Please ensure you are available for each session before booking your spot. See cancellation policy below. 

Have you ever wanted an adorable little cat that can snuggle in the palm of your hand or fit in your pocket? If you know some knitting basics, this is the class for you! We will be using a free pattern by Sara Elizabeth Kellner to create this 3-inch long cat.

If you have never knitted in the round on double-pointed needles, Julie will help you though it. You will also learn about increasing and decreasing, picking up stitches, knitting i-cords, and a tiny bit of kitchener stitch. Stuffing will be provided for you.
