SUMMARY:Intro to Double Knitting Class
DESCRIPTION:Two Sides to Every Story: Mastering Reversible Double Knitting\nIn this workshop with Amanda Schwabe\, you will master the art of double knitting—a unique technique where the knit sides face out\, and the purl sides stay hidden\, resulting in a thick\, squishy\, and completely reversible piece of knitting. You’ll apply these skills to create customized double-knit coasters\, conquering the challenge of managing two strands of yarn simultaneously to create stunning mirror-image designs. You’ll leave this class with the “Big Win” of understanding how to read double-layered charts\, giving you the confidence to tackle complex projects like jacquard patterns and integrated pockets. \n\nWhat You Will Learn\n\nSimultaneous Layering: Understanding the mechanics of how to knit two separate fabrics on one set of needles at the same time.\nReversible Colorwork: Mastering the technique of “mirror-imaging” colors to create a design that looks perfect on both sides.\nThe Hidden Purl: Learning how to trap the purl stitches inside the work to ensure a smooth\, professional finish on both exterior faces.\nChart Reading for Double Knitting: Deciphering how to follow a pattern when one square on a grid represents two different stitches.\nFoundation Skills for Complexity: Gaining the prerequisite knowledge needed for advanced techniques like reversible slip-stitch cables and knitting in the round.\n\n\nClass Details\n\nDate & Time: Tuesday\, February 17th\, 2026\n\nSlot 1: 2:00pm – 4:00pm\nSlot 2: 6:00pm – 8:00pm\n\n\nLocation: Maker Savvy Classroom\nSkill Level: Intermediate (If you are comfortable with basic knitting\, purling\, and casting on\, you can do this class!)\nInstructor & Qualifications: Amanda Schwabe: An expert in technical knitting structures\, Amanda specializes in double knitting and is known for her ability to break down complex maneuvers into easy-to-follow steps.\n\n\nSpecial Information & Preparation\n\nPre-Class Prep: Please ensure you have your yarn and needles ready (specific weights/sizes will be sent upon registration). No pre-knitting is required!\nLunch/Breaks: A short water/snack break will be provided mid-session.\nWhat’s Included in Registration:\n\nInstruction: Comprehensive hands-on guidance and troubleshooting.\n\n\n\nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Dimensional Knitting: Double-Knit Sculptural Toque
DESCRIPTION:Dimensional Knitting: Double-Knit Sculptural Toque\nDescription \nMaster the art of creating sculptural\, folded knitting on the outside of a hat\, while keeping the interior layer smooth and comfortable.  \nOver two classes\, learn to use the double knitting technique to make a top-down toque that has a smooth inner texture and a welted\, extra-warm outer texture.  \nYou will leave knowing how to manipulate Double Knitting to create more than just two colour designs — even two shapes are possible!  \n\nWhat You Will Learn\n\nMagic Circle Cast On: Mastering the method that lets you begin any knitting (or crochet) project from the centre of a circle\, in a way that is able to be tightened easily.\nE-Loops: Creating simple\, mirrored increases that don’t pull on the stitches around them. \nRead Your Knitting: Recognizing your stitches so you can take control\, prevent and fix mistakes.\nLifelines: Using hollow cords or waste yarn to create “save points” in your knitting projects.\nTextured Double Knitting: Learning how to manipulate the two layers to create different textures and colours on each side\, with no wrong sides showing. \nBlocking: The final step that can really change your knitting project and make it sing.\nInvisible Bind Off: This essential Double Knitting technique will be taught in a separate workshop the week after this class ends. We split them up so anyone who wants to learn the Invisible Bind Off and grafting can join in.\n\n\nClass Details\n\n\n\n\n\nDate & Time: \n\nFebruary 24th & March 3rd\, 2026\n2 time slots \n\n@2:00-4:00pm\n@6:00-8:00pm\n\n\n\n\nLocation:\n\nMaker Savvy Classroom\n\n\nSkill Level: Intermediate\n\nIf you can do flat Double Knitting\, you can do this.
