Learn how to finger knit your very own ultra-soft chunky yarn blanket—no needles or experience required! In this hands-on class, you’ll work with six skeins of plush chenille yarn to create a beautiful 35” x 60” blanket that will be perfect during the colder months.

They’ll guide you step-by-step through the finger knitting process, teach you how to care for your finished piece, and help you relax and enjoy the meditative rhythm of working with your hands.
