Hakone Scarf

This teachable course goes hand-in-hand with the included written Hakone Scarf knitting pattern so you'll never be left wondering how to approach a section.

Some of the techniques covered in this course are:


- Creating a Ruffled Edge
- Working Lace Patterns
- Reading Charts
- Reading Your Knitting
- Final Ruffled Edge
- Blocking Lace

Carol trained initially as a textile artist and then as a structural engineer. While both of these backgrounds are very different the influences can be seen in her design work which is well-shaped, flattering to wear and enjoyable to knit.

She strives to design clothing with a difference: not overly complex, but still giving a very unique end product. She likes to work with different construction methods, so long as they enhance the knitting experience and make for a more intuitively put-together knitted item.

Carol has been widely published in books and magazines and travels the world teaching in yarn shops and fibre festivals. The classes she teaches cover a wide range of subjects from cables and chart reading, through garment shaping and customisation right through to short rows and colourwork. In her classes you'll move from learning the basics to refining your knitting skills and fixing problems

Yarn kits are available for all of our project workshops. You can find the exact colour that Carol chose herself or choose from the colour combinations provided.
