Knitting the Five by Five Cowl // Introduction

Welcome to our "Five by Five Cowl" knitting workshop taught by Felicia Lo Wong, Founder & Creative Director for SweetGeorgia Yarns! This workshop is meant to follow the "Learn to Knit" workshop that taught the absolute basics of knitting from casting on, to knitting a garter stitch scarf, to learning how to bind off and finish a knitted project. In this workshop, learn to take your knitting skills to the next level, with some more fundamental techniques including:
- how to work the purl stitch
- how to combine knits and purls into ribbing
- how to do a provisional cast on
- how to work a Kitchener stitch to graft two ends together in a very seamless way
- also how to do the three needle bind off to do a quick, but more visible, seam
The project we’ll make in this series is the Five by Five Cowl: a cozy infinity loop cowl made by holding three yarns together (in our example we use 2 fingering weight yarns and a lace weight but you can use whatever you’d wish!). It’s a perfect project to practice these new skills on and have fun playing with texture and colour at the same time!
