Knitter's First Steek: A Simple Bookmark
PATTERN
Pattern will be provided for class participants by instructor.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
Students will learn the basics of steeking through the making of a bookmark. Students will work swatches prior to class that will be used to learn a few of the basic steek reinforcement techniques. After learning these, the bookmark will be worked and will use a specific steeking technique.
