Intarsia Class - Le Bandana by Aimée Gille

About this experience

Learn intarsia with us by knitting the colorful Le Bandana together with instruction by Jillian Price. This is the perfect learning project to add intarsia colorwork to your knitting repetoire and provides creative freedom in whatever color combinations you choose.

The class is offered for three two-hour sessions at $60 plus materials and pattern. We ask that you purchase your main color yarn from us, but feel free to bring scrap sport-weight yarn for your contrast colors! You will need about 275 yards of sport weight yarn in your main color, and small amounts of as many contrast colors as you'd like.

For the first section of the bandana, you'll practice two-color intarsia. About halfway through, you'll move up to a small section of three-color intarsia. After that you'll have all the skills you need to complete your project!

This is a charted pattern, worked flat from corner to corner. 

Note: please have rows 1-32 (single color plain knitting) completed before the first session. That way we can get you working on the first intarsia section right away!
