Ana Campos Workshop 2

Introduction to Portuguese Knitting

Learn how to knit Portuguese style! Portuguese knitting is more efficient and easier on your joints, so it can help reduce strain and fatigue. In this style of knitting, the yarn is tensioned either around the neck or using a knitting pin. This unique method of tensioning the yarn allows both knit and purl stitches to be created with a simple flick of the thumb!

Level of Experience: Basic knitting and purling

Homework: Using smooth worsted weight yarn and US7 needles, cast on 20 stitches. Knit 2 rows. Leave on the needles and bring to class.

Materials and Supplies Needed for Class: Worsted weight yarn with a smooth texture, such as Berroco Ultra Wool; US7 knitting needles. Optional: Portuguese Knitting pin (you can work with the yarn around your neck instead of with a pin)

Materials fee: None.

Cost:  $30 for members ($55 for non-members which includes 2022 Guild membership.)

Class size:  20.
