Welcome to the wonderful world of knitting! This class is for parents and kids ages 8-12 who have not picked up knitting needles before. If you're looking for a drop-off class, please sign your child up for Kids Level 0: Learn to Knit.

Learn the basics of knitting and make an adorable bunny from a simple square. The necessary materials are included in the cost of the course and will be provided in the first class.

Classes are held in small groups of up to 6 students (3 adults and 3 kids), led by an experienced instructor. Registering reserves two spots, one for you and one for your child.
