Class Description: Bavarian knitting, originating from the Bavarian Alps region of Europe comprises traveling cables against twisted stitches. The twisted stitches create clean and well-defined stitches while the traveling cables have a nice design element and are usually 2 stitch cables that don't use cable needles at all. The
pattern appearance and charts seem complicated, yet once you understand the chart symbols, it becomes easy to follow and addicting! It’s a classic design and looks great on men, women and children. We'll practice in class with a 2-color cast on, reading a Bavarian chart, working cables without a cable needle along with 4 basic Bavarian cable stitches.
