Maximum Class size: 8 people
This is a class for beginning knitters. You will learn how to cast on, the basic knit stitch, and how
to bind off, while creating your own small simple scarf. You will also be presented with a couple
of different ideas for finishing the ends of the scarf using fringe or ribbon. Please bring your own
knitting needles (straight or circular – can be size 8 with worsted or aran weight yarn, or size 10
with bulky yarn) and approx 200-400 yds of yarn (scarf length will depend on how much yarn
you have). We will have some needles and yarn to practice with at the first class if you are not
sure what to buy.

Sign up at the Blacksmith Shop Sundays from 1-4 pm, or email
historiccraftproject@gmail.com

Cash or check accepted for class fee. Please make checks payable to:
Manchester Area Historical Society.

Materials Fee should be paid by cash only. Fees will be collected at the first class.

Please note, your class fee will go in its entirety towards supporting the Historic Craft Project –
a non-profit volunteer-organized effort, which is a part of Manchester Area Historical Society.

Classes will be in the craft room in the back of the Blacksmith Museum –

In the event of snowy weather and ice storms, class may be re-scheduled, and the class fee
will carry over to the newly re-scheduled date (in April) or be reimbursed to the participant, if
they prefer that.
