Aug 6 Easy Ombre Hat Kits

We’ll be making the Easy Ombre Slouch hat in our first colorwork project class of fall. The class will run from Sunday, September 8 thru Sunday, September 22. To make the process choosing a color palette even easier, we’ve made some kits that you can just grab and go. Kits are organized in to four color families. Check them out below.

Knit Fold Pleat Repeat

Simple shapes are ideal for the novice knitter, but the clever folds and fastenings of Knit, Fold, Pleat, Repeat will intrigue the experienced crowd too. These techniques are easy to learn, and the design possibilities--and new combinations that come to light once you begin--are nearly endless. Each design starts with a simple rectangle, square, or triangle and builds from there: to fold, drape, or twist the shape into a garment or accessory, and to introduce pleats, welts, and slices along the way. Every pattern has a gorgeous high-fashion style, and the projects are so addictive to knit--you may find yourself making the same garment in new colors and yarns so you'll have one for each season. The book includes thirty-six patterns in all, each with variations.
