Description
Love those classic diamond shapes called Argyle, but are mystified about how to accomplish them? In this workshop, you will learn the classic technique of knitting Argyle flat, with key tips and tricks, including how to wrap the yarn and a seaming method that makes the seam nearly invisible and not bulky. Each stage of the construction of an argyle hat designed by instructor will be covered. And a bonus: how to calculate your own Argyle diamond patterns for different gauges.
