Multi-directional Scarves

Multi-directional knitting comes in many forms. The newest form, popularized by Iris Schreier of Artyarns, uses a single continuous length of yarn. As a result, it's ideally suited for turning variegated yarns into striking scarves.

In this class, you'll see how increases and decreases let you knit in multiple directions, creating stripes that run at 90 degress to each other. You'll try basic techniques on samples...

...and see how to combine these techniques, using simple sketches to design a variety of scarves.

Need yarn? Iris has a lovely selection. So does Tina Newton of Blue Moon Fiber Arts--the samples above are knit with Kidmo and Socks That Rock.
