Intarsia Knitting

Join Jane and cast on in colour with Simple Intarsia from a diagram for vertical colour stripes. This keeps things simple as you learn to manage yarns and avoid tangles, the essential foundation for tackling not-so-simple (or what Jane calls Stunning) intarsia. Jane loves working in colour - from simple vertical stripes worked following a diagram to interpreting charts in colours on your needles. The first Simple Intarsia swatch is worked in vertical stripes from a diagram.

Learn the foundation skills for Intarsia, from joining colours and securing ends to managing yarns and avoiding tangles. The second swatch starts with casting on in sections of three colours, then ribbing in the three blocks of colour; this shows how vertical stripes can start from the hemline (cast-on edge) of a garment.

The class includes two knitted samples, supported by sample garments and Jane’s knowledge of garment styling and fit.

This workshop is for knitters who are confident in stocking stitch and are ready to learn new skills in colourwork.
