Knit in Circles!
Hi ,
The Goal of this Challenge
As machine knitters, we spend a lot of time knitting rectangles and squares. Knitting circles opens up a world of design possibilities.
Consider shawls, hats, blankets, pillows, home dec. Knit circles alone, or combined with rectangles to create unusual designs no matter what you are creating!
In this challenge you will knit at 2 swatches. Each exercise will use different skills that may be new to you.
Use the Knit it Now Tool
Knit a Pinwheel Sample
Knit a Wedge Sample
I HIGHLY encourage you to try these techniques and get your creative juices flowing.
