Knit Happens: A Beginner’s Guide to Not Dropping Stitches

Beginner’s Knitting Class: Washcloth Basics 101
Soft yarn. Simple stitches. Strong main character energy.

So, you want to knit? Amazing choice. In this delightfully beginner-friendly class, we’ll get you stitching your very first project—a silky, squishy washcloth that’s as practical as it is swoon-worthy. Whether you're gifting it, using it, or just gazing at it in awe (been there), this is your warm and fuzzy entry into the knitting world.

We’ll teach you the foundational stuff: casting on, knitting, purling, binding off, and decoding those mysterious pattern instructions. No prior experience required—just bring your enthusiasm and maybe a podcast rec.

What’s in the Kit (aka your Knitting Survival Pack):

  • Knitting needles

  • Needle stoppers (tiny yarn brakes!)

  • Stitch markers

  • Row counter

  • Tapestry needles

  • Holding strings

  • One skein of silk yarn

Want to keep going? We’ve got extra silk yarn kits available so you can keep the washcloth magic alive and make a whole stack of them.

If you’ve never touched a pair of needles or just need a cozy reintroduction, this class is a soft landing into a satisfying new hobby—one glorious stitch at a time.
