Summer Youth: Knit a Fat Cat (Ages 12-16)

Take your knitting to the next level while creating a cute feline friend!

About this Class

This class will help knitters who know the basics (how to knit and purl) get to the next level! Learn how to decrease stitches, knit both flat and in the round, and seam pieces of a pattern together. After we finish putting together the pieces of our cats, we'll add faces and give them their own personalities.
