Knitting in the round is a technique of knitting where you create a tube of fabric as opposed to a flat piece.  This is useful for making hats, sweaters, toys and socks.  You can accomplish this using either double pointed needles (DPNs) or circular needles.  The Magic Loop method uses one long circular needle and can be your "go to" for any project being knit in the round. In this class you will learn the basic skills and some tricks for using Magic Loop while making the adorable Spice Pumpkin pattern by Hannah Maier, just in time for fall!
