This class is for all the knitters who say they only know the knit and purl stitches! Build your skills as you knit the "Wildflower" headband, by Natxa Gonzalez. This tiny project boasts loads of techniques that appear in many patterns and open up a world of possibilities. Anne will teach the following:

• center double decrease (CDD)
• right- and left-leaning increases (m1r, m1l)
• slip slip knit (ssk)
• knit two together (k2tog)
