Mini Makes, Major Skills | Knit your First Tank Top Course | 3 weeks

Hosted by Manchester Wool & Yarn

Join us for a relaxed and practical three-week knitting workshop where you’ll learn the skills needed to create a stylish, wearable garment from start to finish.

Workshop Dates (Saturdays):

• June 21st 3:30pm - 6:30pm
• June 28th 3:30pm - 6:00pm
• July 5th 3:30pm - 6:00pm

Across the three sessions, you’ll be guided through every step of garment construction, from cast-on to finishing techniques. By the end of the workshop, you’ll have completed a baby-sized slipover and built the confidence to take on larger projects independently.

For this workshop, we’ll be working with the much loved Novice Slipover by PetiteKnit. This pattern has become a favourite for knitters thanks to its clean, modern design and approachable construction making it ideal for those looking to step into garment-making for the first time.

This workshop is perfect for knitters who already know the basics, if you’re comfortable with knit and purl stitches and ready to take the next step into garment-making, you’ll fit right in.

We’ll be introducing techniques such as knitting in the round, along with shaping and construction methods, making this an ideal bridge between beginner projects and more advanced garments.

Why a baby slipover?
This workshop is designed to let you try before you commit. Using just one 100g ball of yarn, you’ll be able to:

• Experiment with yarns you’re considering for an adult garment
• See how they knit up, feel, and hold their shape
• Learn key techniques without the cost of a full-sized project

It’s the perfect way to test your yarn choice before investing in a larger piece.

What’s included:

• Step-by-step guidance across all three sessions
• A baby slipover pattern to complete during the workshop
• The adult-size version of the same pattern, provided at the end of the course

Exclusive discounts:

• 10% off materials before the workshop (in-store or online), so you can select the perfect yarn and needles
• A second exclusive discount at the end of the course to purchase yarn for your adult-sized slipover

Whether you’re new to garment knitting or looking to build confidence with a modern, wearable project, this workshop offers a supportive and inspiring space to learn.
