Knitting Support Group: Beginner

11am Wednesdays
March 19 thru April 30th, 2025*
10 spaces

Have you learned to knit recently and want to keep the momentum going? Are you excited to knit something but feel lost trying to pick a pattern or demystify the instructions on your own? Maybe you got started but have so many questions or want some structure, encouragement, and community!

I can help!

This knitting group is hosted by me, Dorothy Broomall, Dappled Fern owner and knit coach. I designed this group to support beginning knitters who are starting their first projects and honing skills like reading a pattern, casting on, knit stitch, purl stitch, increasing, and decreasing. I’ll help you pick a beginner-friendly knitting pattern, get started, and work through your project.

Weekly Sessions

We’ll meet weekly on Wednesday mornings at Dappled Fern to set goals, troubleshoot, share tips and tricks, and celebrate your progress over the course of 6 sessions. 

Building on the Basics

You should be familiar with basic skills like casting on, knit stitch, and purl stitch at a minimum, but it’s okay to be a beginner! I won’t be teaching basic skills from scratch in this group but I can help you refresh your memory and point to resources.

What’s included:

• 6 sessions
• Weekly structure and goals
• Help choosing a pattern
• Tips and Tricks
• Trouble shooting and fixing mistakes
• 10% off yarn during the group!

This group meets 6 times. The cost works out to five $20 session plus a 6th freebie to skip or take advantage of!

What’s not included:

• Knitting pattern
• Yarn and tools
• Support outside of group meeting time - book a session with our Knit Coach if you need help in between sessions!
