Beginner Knitting


Adult Enrichment / Art, Games & Hobbies -
Winter/Spring 2026

Let Dawn, The Stitching Coach teach you how to knit a cute pouch to hold your Airpods, earbuds or other small items like an Aldi quarter. This is a beginner-friendly class but it will help if students know how to cast on, knit and sew a button. At the end of the two 2-hour in-person classes, you will learn to sew a seam in knitting and knit an i-cord.
