Create your own unique colorwork beret design to knit or develop into a pattern! In this intermediate-to-advanced level class, you’ll learn how to create a colorwork chart, what essential considerations to make when designing repeating motifs for stranded knitting, and how to select a color palette that enhances the focal elements of your design. You’ll leave this 2-hour session with a roadmap for continuing work on your design and a clear path to completing your original beret sample!
