Beginner Portuguese Knitting Classes

Discover the Art of Portuguese Knitting!

Portuguese knitting, also known as "pin knitting" or "Andean knitting," is a unique and efficient technique where the yarn is tensioned around your neck or through a knitting pin, making it easier to manage. This method requires minimal hand movement, making it an excellent choice for beginners or anyone seeking a gentle and ergonomic way to knit.

Why Learn Portuguese Knitting?

• Ergonomic Benefits: The minimal hand movement reduces strain, making it a great option for those with arthritis or repetitive strain issues.
• Improved Tension Control: The yarn tension is naturally consistent, helping beginners achieve even stitches with less effort.
• Versatile Technique: Portuguese knitting works beautifully for both knit and purl stitches, often making purling faster and easier compared to other methods.

In this 2-session class, you’ll learn the basics of Portuguese knitting, including:

• How to set up and tension the yarn using a knitting pin or around your neck.
• Mastering the knit and purl stitches in the Portuguese style.
• Tips for transitioning from other knitting styles and troubleshooting common beginner challenges.
