Knit 4: Fixing Mistakes

Knit 4: Fixing Mistakes gives you the confidence to keep going when something goes off track. We all make knitting mistakes — and learning how to recognize and fix them is one of the most empowering skills you can add to your knitting toolkit.

In this hands-on class, you’ll learn how to fix dropped stitches, change knits to purls, un-knit (we call it “tinking”), and plain old ripping back (known as “frogging”).

Whether you’re working on scarves, sweaters, socks, or anything in between, these skills will help you fix mistakes without fear!
