About Knitting
A practical and creative skill for students of all levels.
Our knitting classes teach students the fundamentals of yarn and needle work through fun, structured projects. Whether picking up needles for the first time or refining advanced techniques, every student is supported in a calm and encouraging environment.
Classes are kept small so every student gets the guidance they need. Our tutors walk through each technique step by step, making sure no one feels left behind
Skill Levels
We offer three levels to suit every student.
Beginner
No experience needed. Students learn how to cast on, knit, purl, and cast off — completing their first small project by the end of the course.
Intermediate
For students who know the basics. Classes introduce tension control, reading patterns, increasing and decreasing stitches, and working on longer projects.
Advanced
For confident knitters ready to tackle complex patterns, colourwork, cables, lace techniques, and completing polished, wearable or decorative finished pieces.
What You'll Do
A variety of activities across all class levels.
Cast On & Cast Off
Learn to start and finish projects neatly using proper casting techniques that set a strong foundation for every piece.
Stitch Patterns
Explore knit, purl, ribbing, and seed stitch to build texture, structure, and visual interest across your projects.
Reading Patterns
Understand knitting abbreviations and confidently follow both written and charted patterns for a wide range of projects.
Colourwork
Introduce multiple yarn colours to create stripes, motifs, and Fair Isle designs that add personality and flair.
Finished Projects
Complete real items like scarves, dishcloths, beanies, and decorative pieces you can keep, gift, or display.
Advanced Techniques
Progress into cables, lace, and shaping methods that open up a whole new range of creative knitting possibilities.
