Two classes, 1 ½ hours each.

Cost: $25.00
Skill level: Cheerful, advanced beginner.
Knitting in the Round II: Top Down Hat on DPN & circulars
Cast on 4 stitches to make a hat? Counted increases make a beautiful spiraling top as we knit our way from the crown to the brim to make this simple cap. Suitable for women, men or kids, this is as simple a hat as you can knit.
