Introduction to Glove Knitting
with Kate Atherley
Join expert tutor Kate Atherley for a friendly, focused introduction to knitting gloves. In this online course, you’ll work with Norwegian Wool and Kidsilk Haze held together, creating a beautifully soft yet durable fabric.
You’ll knit in the round on a small circumference, so some experience with circular needles or DPNs is helpful. Kate will guide you through shaping, construction, and the techniques needed to tailor your gloves for a perfect, personalised fit.
Class numbers are limited, ensuring plenty of individual attention and the chance to ask questions as you work. A perfect next step for knitters ready to explore glove-making with an expert by their side.
