Knit Labwith Stefanie Japel 01
WELCOMEHi, Everybody!
Welcome to Knit Lab!If youve been longing to join the fun of
knitting, this is the course for you. Were going to start from zero
and cover the basics, knitting a lacy scarf together as you build
your repertoire of stitches. My goal is to give you a foundation
that will let you go out into the world and knit anything you
want to knit.
The community features of the Craftsy platform are perfect for
beginners. If youre just testing your knitting wings for the first
time, please ask questions, use video notes to bookmark items
that you want to revisit, and post photos of both your problem
spots and your finished creations. I love to see what everyone is
working on!
Grab your needles and yarn and lets get started!

Knit Labwith Stefanie Japel 02Your Insrucor
YOUR INSTRUCTORStefanie Japel learned to knit from her grandma
when she was eight years old. She grew up wearing
her sweaters and borrowing the ones she made for
other people. Most of these sweaters are raglans, knit
in the round from the top. Stefanie continues this
sweater making tradition.
A gifted designer, Stefanie has published three knitting
books: Glam Knits, Fitted Knitsand Mom and Me.
Her work has also appeared in a number of books and
publications including Big Girl Knits, Stitch 'n Bitch
Nation, KnitGrrl, Knit Wit, Not Another Teen Knitting
Book, Interweave Knits, Knitscene, Knit.1and VogueKnitting Magazine. She has designed patterns for
Stitch Diva Studios, the yarn companies Southwest
Trading Company, JCA Reynolds, Artful Yarns,
Tilli Tomas and Mission Falls.
Stefanies teaching is marked by her infectious
enthusiasm and keen eye for detail. Visit her blog for
more information: www.seaniejapel.com.

stitches alongside Stefanie in this lesson.
Stitches: Purl RidgesExpanding upon the garter-stitch swatch you made,
this session teaches you how to create purl ridges
with the knit and purl stitches you just learned.
Stitches: LaceIn this session, Stefanie introduces lace, a simple
combination of increases and decreases. This is the
third section of the Lacy Keyhole Scarf.

MATERIALS & PATTERNS
Seanie recommends hese supplies or abeginning kniter:
Knitting bag
Yarn, needles and pattern for your project(s)
Needle gauge
Scissors
Stitch markers
Darning needles
Tape measure
Crochet hook (to pick up dropped stitches)
Helpul/Opional Maerials:
Pen or pencil (to mark pattern)
Ball winder
Iron
Stitch holders
Maerials:
Double-pointed needles are commonly used for
knitting in the round, on projects like socks,
sleeves and hats.
Plastic needles are inexpensive but can be
sticky to the touch.
A needle gauge can be helpful when converting
between needle systems (British to US). Typical
knitting needles range from size 0 to 17.
Make certain all your yarn for one project comes
from the same dye lot. If possible, buy all the yarnyou will need for your whole project at one time.
Patern Reading:
Read the entire pattern, all the way through,
before you begin. It contains a lot of useful
and necessary information.
Casing On and Binding Off:
The long tail cast-on is used 99 percent of the time.
To make binding off easier, and keep your
bind-off edge loose, go up one needle size.
Bind off on the wrong side of the fabric.
Dont forget to remove your stitch markers
before you bind off.
