Sat 19 Jun 2021 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM IST
Royal Marine Hotel, Dun Laoghaire
Description
If you want to get your feet wet with your first colorwork project, this quick knit cowl class is for you! Learn how to do a crochet provisional cast on, folded hem, and a cool colorwork effect created with your floats. You'll leave this class with a beautiful swatch packed with new techniques, a copy of the Mokum cowl pattern and the confidence to take on any colorwork project!
Named after the city’s nickname, “Mokum”, a yiddish word that means “safe haven”, this cowl is inspired by everyday life in Amsterdam. The rhythmic geometric motifs are pulled from patterns found around the city from the canals to the lively walls of Amsterdam Centraal. The Mokum Cowl sits cozily next to your face and is designed with stranded colorwork to block out the unforgiving wind on that chilly bike ride home.
