Embroidered Mitts
Join Tawnya to learn how to embellish fingerless mitts with embroidered flowers!
Add color and fun to a pair of fingerless mitts that you knit or crochet in this three-evening class. The class project is a Floral Embroidered Mitt set with two different embroidered designs created by Tawnya and exclusive to the Lamb Shoppe.
As we go, knitters will explore i-cord cast on and i-cord cast off, twisted ribbing, gusset increases, knitting in the round on two cable needles instead of four or five double pointed needles (a technique that Cat Bordhi shows in many of her knitted sock patterns and books).
Crocheters will work on single crochet crocheted ribbing using front post stitches, gusset increases, applied i-cord edging, and mattress stitch.
Everyone will learn to fit the mitts to the wearer’s hand shape.In the embroidery session students will learn chain stitch, stem stitch, lazy daisy stitch, woven wheel, French knot, and Cretan stitch.

Homework to be completed before first class:
1) Knit a 4x4 inch swatch in stockinette or crochet a 4x4 inch swatch in single crochet. Do not cut your yarn because we'll unravel it after we determine gauge and use it in the mitts.
2) The students should draw around their hand and wrist with their fingers closed, thumb out on a piece of paper and bring it to class. We will use this and their swatch to determine the mitt fit.
Homework between classes:Mitts should be completed between the second and third class so that they are ready to be embroidered.
