Monthly Knitting Group

Have you ever wanted to learn to knit? We can teach you how.

We have been meeting with a mother and two daughters to teach them. They have come a long way.  In fact this year we decided to make a sampler afghan. This way they can learn various stitches and patterns.

Here is a picture of our group. Two of the ladies are camera shy and would only let me take a picture of their hands. As you can see Mom is looking at her square.

You can work along with our group if you would like.  Once a month I will put a new square on our blog for anyone out there who is a knitter and would like to follow along by making a square.

The first month will be the basket weave square.

Here is the pattern for square one:

Cast on 40 stitches on size 8 needles.

Row 1 - Knit

Row 2 - 6 - K4, P4; repeat to the end of the row.

Row 7 - Knit

Row 8 - 12 - P4, K4; repeat to the end of the row.

Repeat rows 1-12 until the square measures 10 inches from the beginning. Bind off.

Happy Knitting!
