First Encounter Wrap Class

The First Encounter Wrap is a fun project for knitters who enjoy learning new techniques while creating something beautiful and practical. Over the course of 7 class sessions, you'll explore texture, eyelets, slipped stitches, cables, and twisted stitches, with each section introducing something new to keep the knitting engaging. The pattern is easy to customize—repeat sections to make a larger wrap or use DK weight yarn for a cozier version. Along the way, you'll build confidence with a variety of stitch techniques while creating a wrap you'll be proud to wear for years to come.
