Thursday, July 10, 2025 @ 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Overview

Sheepy Steeky Coasters

Is steeking on your knitting bucket list? Why would you knit something in the round to knit a flat object? How can you keep your cut knitting from falling apart? So many questions, and we have the answers!

This coaster class is a gentle introduction to crocheted steek reinforcement. You’ll knit the homework before class and then we’ll reinforce, cut, and finish in class. Previous crochet experience is not required.
