Building Blocks Course Part 1 - 6 weeks
Building Blocks Course Part 1 - 6 weeks
Improve your knitting skills one square at a time!
A knitting series designed to grow your skills, by Michelle "Knit Purl" Hunter.
The Building Blocks series is designed to help knitter navigate through the major knitting skills, techniques and principles. Each of the 6 patterns isolates a new skill. In a carefully designed sequential approach, knitters master each technique before moving on to a more advance concept. The techniques are supported by free online video tutorials containing detailed instruction. This structured progression provides a straight path to success!
Every pattern in Building Blocks focuses on the development of a skill while knitting a lovely square. Each square, or "block" builds upon the skills of the previous pattern, giving knitters more confidence and knowledge. At the completion of the series, the reward is an abundance of knitting know-how along with 6 gorgeous blocks to assemble into a sampler baby blanket.
