        Mastering Miters

        Mitered triangles and squares are a great way to mindlessly create pieces to pull together in modular knitting. Whether you are pulling together the scraps from prior projects, or intentionally pairing two variegated yarns, mitered triangles and squares combine easy decreases to give pleasant, sometimes unexpected combinations.
        🧶 Prerequisites: Knit and purl.
        🧶 Yarn + Class Materials: Two contrasting yarns with 32” circular needles of appropriate size for yarn
        🧶 Cost: $20/person
