Introduction

11:11

In this session, Brenda introduces you to the two beautiful designs that are included in this class: the Wildwood Cowl and Wildwood Beanie. She also goes through all the materials that you will need to complete the projects in this class and gives lots of tips for making yarn substitutions and for choosing the correct hook size. Brenda also outlines all the skills you will learn in this class.

Beginning the Cabled Cowl: The Cable

37:53

Brenda gives us a brief introduction to the cowl pattern and walks us through the construction of the cabled band at the top edge of this cowl. She demonstrates how to work in the extended single crochet stitch pattern as well as how to create post stitches.

Finishing the Cabled Cowl: Extended Single Crochet and Ribbing

23:30

First, Brenda explains how to alter the cowl; she explains how to change the length of the cable band either by adding more repeats of the cable, or by working fewer repeats of the Cable. This could be done to change the circumference of the Cowl, or to correct the size of the cowl if the gauge is larger or smaller than the given gauge. Next, Brenda shows us how to ”pick up” stitches around the Cabled Band, and how to finish the solid-stitch extended single crochet section. She then demonstrates how to create the Ribbing so the cowl can be finished.

Beginning the Beanie: Creating a More Intricate Cable

1:06:05

In this session, Brenda demonstrates all the steps and skills needed to get started on the cabled beanie beginning with her trick for a more professional and substantial bottom edge. She shows us a few different ways to work our post stitches, some techniques make the cables “travel” sideways, and some make the cabled sections cross in the opposite way from how they crossed in the cowl.

Shaping the Crown and Finishing the Beanie

53:51

As Brenda continues working on the beanie, she shows us how to continue working the cable while making a variety of decreases to shape the crown. After completing the beanie, Brenda shows us how to add the pom-pom, and discusses blocking this project.
