Discover the Best Knitting Classes in San Francisco

Do you live in San Francisco and need a new hobby? If you like the idea of working with your hands and making something from nothing, you may want to give knitting a try. Knitting allows you to create something functional, such as a sweater, scarf, or any number of other items, and is an accessible craft that requires only needles and yarn to get started. 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. Knitting is a great way to flex your creative muscles, regardless of the type of knitting you wish to learn.

Why You Should Learn Knitting in San Francisco

San Francisco residents may find knitting to be a beneficial and fun skill to cultivate, even if the mild weather does not lend itself well to knitted clothing. Knitting could still 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. It can also help you keep your mind sharp, especially when you feel stressed. And if you make an end product that is tangible, you can give it to a friend or family member and spread your creativity to others.

There is a large community of people who are all interested in the craft of knitting, and once you start learning knitting you will be able to join them. Once you understand 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.

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. Another option is creating your own knitting patterns and selling them online. You may be surprised at how much money you can make just from investing time in knitting.

In-Person Knitting Classes in San Francisco

If you want to learn knitting in San Francisco, CourseHorse can help you find the class that is right for you. For example, Fiber Blending for Knitting, Weaving & Felting at the Richmond Art Center in nearby Richmond allows you to explore different fiber combinations for your knitted crafts. You will learn how to blend, card, and comb unspun wool, mohair, cotton, silk, bamboo, and more while pushing boundaries. In Wearable Art, students learn about knitting and crocheting, two traditional techniques that allow you to create bold and wearable works of art with no prior experience. This class also takes place at the Richmond Art Center in Richmond.

Yarn Bomb: Knit and Crochet Graffiti is a two-day workshop style class that allows students at the Richmond Art Center in Richmond to make big, bold, and collaborative works of art from needlework. You must provide your own supplies for this course, but you are encouraged to bring your art outdoors and create something that is nontraditional.

Another Richmond Art Center offering is Soft Sculpture: Knit and Crochet. This eight session course will teach you how to create soft, sculptural forms based on the growth patterns found in nature. You will learn stitches and techniques to develop form and texture in your work, no matter what the end product is.

Knitting 101 happens at the Jewish Community Center of San Francisco over the course of seven sessions. You’ll learn casting on, knitting, purling, increasing, decreasing, working in the round, and binding off. Once you understand the basics, you will apply this knowledge to your first project, a chunky infinity scarf.

Socks Knitting Class is offered by The Black Squirrel in neighboring Berkeley. This two session class focuses on toes for the first course and heels for the second, and takes place over two weeks. While you’ll learn the instructor’s favorite method for knitting socks in this course, once you understand the basics you can combine different heel and toe structures to find your perfect sock recipe.

Virtual Knitting Classes 

While you might be intimidated by the idea of taking an online knitting class at first, they have their pros and cons just like in-person classes. 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.
