BEGINNER’S SERIES: Rikke Hat

We want to encourage our beginning knitters! To do so, we’ve come up with our Beginner’s Series. The Rikke Hat is knit flat and is a worldwide HIT requiring just 1 skein of any DK to light worsted weight yarn. This hat looks stunning in both semi-solid hues and variegated color-ways as the garter stitch design helps prevent pooling! This 2-session class will be led by Yarnista & Owner Susan Dickerson and will be held:

• 1 to 3 pm Fridays, April 13 & April 27
• 10 am to 12 pm Tuesdays, May 1 & 15
• 3 to 5 pm Tuesdays, June 12 & 26

All materials can be purchased at The Flying Needles for 10% off after you have registered. The class is limited to 6 people. Register for this class by stopping by or calling us at (757) 345-3655.
