Often these patterns are pictures—for example, flowers or boats or rainbows; sometimes they are geometric, using squares or circles or triangles. Intarsia classically is knit flat, and that’s how we’ll approach it in this class. You’ll learn how to read an intarsia chart, how to handle multiple colors at the same time, and how to manipulate the yarn so you don’t have any holes or bumpy sections in your finished piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDate\/Time: Saturday, September 26, 2026 9:00 AM-Noon\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSupplies:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorsted weight or DK yarn in at least 3 contrasting solid colors.
