Learn basic intarsia skills and design your own shawl using your newly learned skills to create fun, custom motifs in a neckerchief.
We’ll start by learning about intarsia and practising swatches. Then we’ll use a pre-made chart to map out motifs from hearts, flowers, geometric; whatever you’d like. We can get started in the class and you can take your pattern home to complete. Your shawl can be in garter or stockinette stitch and we’ll treat it like a canvas to “draw” your intarsia design!
