Knitting Colorwork - Nancy Bates Beanie

Course Overview
If you've been drooling over the fabulous Nancy Bates beanie designs, but been intimidated by the colorwork, this is the class for you! I love colorwork and have knit ~50 beanies total from the "Knitting the National Parks" and "Knitting California" books.

Over two 90 minute sessions you will learn how to read a colorwork chart in the round and techniques for working with multiple colors. You'll also learn the duplicate stitch and ways for handling long floats in your work. And we'll cover the importance of blocking your colorwork beanie once you have finished.
