Master the art of helical stripe knitting, a deceptively easy technique useful for creating seamless colour transitions with no jog where the round meets. In this workshop, you'll knit your own mug cosy while learning the skill of creating seamless stripes and working with two yarns at once without tangling. This technique is perfect for hats, cowls, socks and just as useful for alternating skeins in larger projects.

By the end of the workshop, you'll be able to finish your mug cosy, and have the confidence to use helical stripes in your own future projects.

Please bring to the workshop:

• 4mm needles suitable for working small circumference in the round (DPNs or suitable circular needles).

All other materials provided, including two 10g mini skeins of hand-dyed Crush DK, plenty for your cosy, with leftover yarn for a second and a printed pattern and helical stripe reference guide to take home.

This workshop is suitable for adventurous beginners with some previous experience of knitting in the round.
