  • Great intro into sewing basics. Very laid back and comfortable atmosphere.
  • Instructor communicated well and was knowledgeable.
  • Instruction was great, loved the hands on technique, and was right on pace with my learning. I was knitting in no time, even went home and knitted for another few hours.
  • Akimi was wonderful! I really enjoyed this class! Hope you will consider another Boro Stitching class taking up where this one left off! Thank you so much!
  • Excellent class, both Jamie and Park were extremely helpful and friendly! Would recommend it to everyone who is interested in knitting.
  • Ms. Nakano Cohn is a wonderful instructor and I hope to take future classes with her.
  • Valerie was so patient while we worked on our mittens. She was very good at modeling how to do something and then having us do it. The owner, Donna, is just as wonderful. They both have inspired me to continue knitting and try harder projects.
  • I love the class. I love the teacher and the location. I learned to knit! My daughter learned to knit! Mission accomplished!

Discover the Best Knitting Classes in Chicago

Are you looking for a new hobby? Do you like working with your hands and making something from nothing? You may want to give knitting a try. Knitting is an accessible craft that requires only needles and yarn to get started, and allows you to create something functional such as a sweater, scarf, or any number of other items. When you knit, a series of loops of yarn are continuously interlinked or knotted together to create a finished product. Knitting is believed to be one of the oldest methods of making clothes, with some knitted artifacts from ancient Egypt dating back to the 5th century CE. No matter what type of knitting you are interested in learning, it is a great craft for flexing your creative muscles.

Why You Should Learn Knitting in Chicago

If you live in Chicago, you may find knitting to be a beneficial skill in several different ways. For example, knitting could be a fun hobby that helps to relieve the stress you feel from work or school, or gives you something to do with your hands during your free time. In fact, knitting is suggested to help improve your mental health over time. You may also feel good when you make something tangible, including an end product that you could gift to a friend or family member.

When you start learning knitting, you will discover that there is a large community of people who are all interested in the craft. Once you have nailed down the basics of knitting, it is easy to research local knitting clubs, groups, events, or organizations that will allow you to meet others that like knitting too. This makes knitting not just a fulfilling hobby, but a way to get out and be social. Knitting recently regained popularity as a hobby, so you will most likely find someone who is newer to the hobby and wants to bond with you.

Finally, knitting is a valuable skill that may open up new career opportunities. You could start a side hustle selling your knitted creations online or in-person at craft fairs and earn some extra cash. A part-time business repairing and mending certain types of clothing could be another option for using your knitting skills.

In-Person Knitting Classes & Schools in Chicago

If you want to learn knitting and you are in Chicago, CourseHorse can help you book in-person classes. For example, there is an Intro to Knitting class for beginners available at the Irving Park Discovery Center. This course is designed for absolute beginners at knitting and pairs proper knitting terminology with hands-on learning and visual aids. If you enjoy the first class, you can return to the Discovery Center for Intro to Knitting II, which is a continuation designed for students who know how to create a slip knot, cast on, and work a knit stitch. 

Beginning Knitting is another beginner level class, offered at Knit Nirvana in the neighborhood of Forest Park. If you have always wanted to learn knitting, this class will teach you how to cast on, knit, purl, bind off, and pick up dropped stitches.

Arm Knitting is offered by Sifu Design Studio & Fine Yarns, and offers a unique approach to learning knitting. This one day workshop class will show you how to make a cowl or scarf in record time without using needles–you do not even have to know how to knit.

Knitting Basics is held at the Evanston Art Center in the town of Evanston. This class will teach you how to jump-start your new knitting hobby with knit stitches, purl stitches, casting on, and binding off. You will knit small swatches with these techniques and also discover how to unknit to fix simple mistakes.

Knitting Tips and Tricks is another Knit Nirvana offering which will change the way that you approach the art of knitting for the better. You will learn a series of tips and tricks guided by a master knitter that will help you knit more easily and enjoy yourself while you do it.

Virtual Knitting Classes & Schools

Taking an online knitting class might seem daunting at first, but like in-person classes, they have their pros and cons. One good thing about taking a virtual knitting class is that you can attend it from anywhere, meaning you can work on your knitting project in the comfort of your own home, at the beach, or even in a coffee shop. You also do not have to commute to a classroom, which saves both money and time. The biggest con about taking an online knitting class is that you generally have to supply your own materials and equipment.

If you are interested in online knitting classes, CourseHorse has options that will work for you. For example, Knitting is a class that takes place via Zoom and will teach you how to make a scarf with no prior experience, though all skill levels are welcome. Beginning Knitting is a three session course where you will learn the basics of knitting, including casting on, knitting, and binding off. The projects you will make in this course include an infinity scarf and a hat. And Knitting for Beginners (Online) is a beginner-friendly course that will teach you the basics of knitting in a virtual environment over the course of six sessions.
