Discover the Best Knitting Classes in Los Angeles

Looking for a new hobby? Why not try knitting? Knitting is a skilled craft in which a series of loops of yarn are continuously interlinked or knotted together to create a finished product. Historians believe that knitting is one of the oldest known methods of making clothing, since some knitting artifacts found in Egypt date all the way back to the 5th century CE. Knitting is an accessible craft since it only requires needles and yarn to get started. When you knit you can also create an end product that is functional, like a shawl or a hat. Knitting is a great way for people to indulge their creative sides, no matter their background or age.

Why You Should Learn Knitting in Los Angeles

When you learn knitting in Los Angeles, you will discover that it is a simple yet fun way for you to shed the stress of the day. It can also be a good outlet for you to distract yourself, particularly if you have restless hands while you are waiting. There are a lot of people who enjoy knitting because it allows them to create something tangible that they can hold in their hands. This item can then be kept and shown off as a point of pride or given away as a gift for someone else to enjoy.

There is a large community of knitters in Los Angeles, all of whom are at various stages and skill levels in the craft. Once you master the basics of knitting, you will most likely find that you can make new friends through a shared love of your new hobby. It might even be a good idea to research local knitting clubs, groups, events, or organizations that will allow you to meet new people and continue to learn about knitting. When you look at knitting from this perspective, you can use it as both a hobby and a way to be social.

But it is important to remember that knitting in Los Angeles does not just need to be a hobby. Knitting is also a valuable skill that not everyone possesses, and that means if you wanted to, you could turn into a side hustle. There are many ways you can quickly and easily sell your creations online, and Los Angeles also has many in-person craft fairs that could allow you to earn some extra cash. Once you have built up your skills and know several types of knitting, you could even start a part-time business repairing and mending clothing.

In-Person Knitting Classes in Los Angeles

Want to learn knitting in-person in Los Angeles? There are many different classes available. For example, at The Knitting Tree in Inglewood, you can attend Beginning Knitting Saturdays. This four session course teaches you the basics of knitting while also showing you how to make three projects: a scarf, a hat, and a shawl. You will learn to knit and purl stitches, how to increase and decrease, and more. The same class is also available as Beginning Knitting Mondays, Beginning Knitting Thursdays, Beginning Knitting Wednesdays, and Beginning Knitting Fridays if you cannot attend the weekend class.

There is another class at The Knitting Tree in Inglewood called Fixing Knitting Mistakes, which is intended for beginners that have already started knitting. This class includes guidance on the structure of your work, so you know how to fix any errors.

At Los Angeles City College in East Hollywood, Knitting is a class for beginners that welcomes all genders to learn to knit. You will be introduced to needle and string types, stitching patterns, and more.

Intro to Making Socks at The Knitting Tree in Inglewood is a great way to learn easy sock construction. This is a beginner level class, but it is recommended that you have some experience with knitting before you take this course.

Socks - 2 @ a Time is another sock-related course at The Knitting Tree in Inglewood. In this intermediate class, you will learn how to knit a pair of socks two-at-a-time from the toe up. You will also learn a winding cast on. 

Another intermediate offering at The Knitting Tree in Inglewood is Assigned Pooling Shawl Technique. Materials will be discussed in the first session, and you will learn how to perform assigned pooling, a technique in which a change in color dictates a change in stitch.

Virtual Knitting Classes 

Taking an online knitting class is a good way to decide if knitting is something you like to do, provided you are willing to purchase your own supplies. Most often, if you take a virtual knitting class, supplies will not be provided for you, but the instructor will give you a list detailing what you need to buy. Online knitting classes can still give you real-time feedback from your instructor, just like if you were attending class in-person, but you do not have to commute and you can learn from almost anywhere.

Knitting is a single session Zoom class in which you learn to make a scarf with no prior knitting experience. Meanwhile, Beginning Knitting is a virtual class which teaches you casting on, knitting, and binding off, among other important knitting skills. This class takes place over three sessions and you will learn to make a hat by the end. And Knitting for Beginners (Online) teaches you the basics of knitting with a variety of possible projects from which to choose.
