Prior knowledge of magic loop knitting is helpful and using a circular needle is recommended. You will end up with a small sock that can be used as a key chain or even a swatch for a larger project.
This pattern uses Judy’s Magic Cast On and Jeni’s stretchy bind off . The heel uses wrap & turn short rows.
Our meeting will be through Zoom. Invitations will be sent to the SoCK members. If you are not a SoCK member but want to attend, contact Debbie.
KNOW Meeting – Coffee cup cozy
At the moment we are holding Zoom meetings. Please watch your email for a Zoom invitation. Members of other KANG Chapters please email knitatnightguildknow@gmail.com by August 24th to receive an invite to join our meeting.
We will be doing a mini-project over the next two Zoom meetings. For the first part, we will get our colorwork going as we knit a small fair-isle piece in the round during the August meeting.
In September, we will take the finished fair isle and do a steek, where we cut our knitting (!) and add a button band. The result will be a colorful cardi coffee cup cozy!
- The pattern for the project is “Steek This Coffee Cozy” by Rachel Molenaar and it is free on Ravelry. Please download it ahead of the meeting and print it out if you like (and if you are able!)
- For the meeting, grab an assortment of DK or worsted weight wool (non-superwash and 100% wool suggested) in 5 colors: 2 for the background and 3 for the pattern.
- You will need circular needles or double-pointed needles (size 5 suggested; we will knit 53 stitches in the round.)
Join us as we learn from each other; there are many ways to knit stranded colorwork, and many ways to knit in the round!
