Popularity waxes and wanes, but this traditional patterning never goes out of style. Modern yarns and knitting needles are taking the argyle into the 21st century, and this is a great use for those Mini-skeins you are accumulating!\u00a0 Argyles are also an ideal medium for practicing intarsia technique. This class focuses on the traditional knitting method of knitting intarsia, worked flat during all intarsia portions.\u00a0 Have you ever knit a sock flat, before?\u00a0 It\u2019s fun! You will learn the Mattress stitch, which creates an invisible seam from the RS, and it is very smooth on the WS.
