FIBER FRIDAY Grand Canyon Hat with Nancy Bates VIA ZOOM!



A great hat class for newish knitters, but still fun for everyone.  Learn how easy it is to knit in the round while reading a chart and switch colors with this colorful but easy design.  You'll even learn a simple technique for jog-less stripes.  And, we'll touch on gauge, blocking, and decreasing along the way. 

HOMEWORK BEFORE CLASS: Cast on and complete ribbing portion of hat.
Supplies: 
All students are required to purchase the Grand Canyon Beanie pattern available on Ravelry or in the book Knitting the National Parks by Nancy Bates
Worsted weight yarn in 5 colors, (see pattern for yardage requirements) 
16" circular needles in size 5 and 7, double pointed needles in size 7
4 stitch markers. 
If you are a very tight knitter, go up one needle size.

Complete yarn kits with pattern from Nancy Bates ARE available at Longmont Yarn Shoppe.   Students enrolled in Nancy's class have access to purchase one of her kits from our website. After the December 9th class they will be available to the general public.  CHECK OUT her hat kits here!

Instructor: Nancy Bates
Instructor Bio: Growing up in a family of 11 in the suburbs of Southern California, Nancy's love of nature and all things fiber arts started at a very young age. Each day could find her climbing trees and exploring the local hills one moment to hand sewing Barbie clothes and making hats the next. Over the years, embroidery, crocheting, costume making, knitting, painting, cross stitching, and weaving were added to the list of beloved hobbies. In college, Nancy sat under the trees between classes knitting sweaters. The love of the outdoors grew as national and state parks became family destinations with her husband and 3 daughters. The idea for Knitting the National Parks began 5 years ago as she was looking at a Joshua Tree and decided "I could knit that into a hat." And she did!
