Students need to know the basics of knitting before taking this class, cast on, cast off, knit stitch.
Skill Level: Beginner

HIDDEN FALLS SCARF
This beautiful scarf is somewhat of a puzzle. It starts off knit in the round with just knit and purl stitches and turns into a scarf with rippling floats between knitted columns and flowing fringe on the ends. You will impress everyone when you tell them that you made it yourself. Our sample was made with 1 hank of Viva Glitz, but you could also use 2 balls of Venedig or 2 balls of Maciabo. You will need a Size 7 - 24 inch circular needle and 2 different stitch markers. Students will need to know the basics of knitting before taking this class; cast on, cast off, knit stitch, and purl stitch.
