Modern Cabled Baby Bib Workshop - Tuesday



Modern Cabled Baby Bib Workshop
In this workshop we will make the Cabled Baby Bib. This is a great project for a beginning knitter.

"You can get two bibs out of one 100-yd. skein of worsted- or aran-weight cotton, and each bib requires only a few hours of knitting (making it a great project for first-time cable knitters!). Customize the bib by choosing a yarn color and button to fit the recipient -- for example, this pattern would be quite cute in a green yarn with a bright flower or ladybug button. If you’re worried about little ones chewing on buttons, you can omit the buttonhole/button and sew on a bit of velcro to fasten the bib."

Tuesday, 25 March, 5:30 - 7
Instructor - Heidi Narum
Fee - Free

Supplies-
Pattern - free download - http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/modern-cabled-baby-bib
1 skein Cotton Supreme yarn.
Needles - Size 8.
3/4" - 1" button.

Basic pattern techniques include knitting, purling, and cables. Must know how to knit - we can teach you the rest during the workshop.
