Design your own color-work hat or cowl with Tressa Weidenaar
In this workshop students will learn how to design their own color-work hat or cowl using either Worsted or DK weight yarn. Students will be provided a base pattern for the design. They will learn about combining colors and create a mood board to help with inspiration. Once students have decided on a design they will create a motif on a chart. This will give them a chance to begin swatching for their design to ultimately create their own hat or cowl.
This workshop is open to students age 12+
