Bavarian Knitting

Norman is bringing the knitting traditions from his hometown right onto the cruise ship. You will learn all about the history of Bavarian knitting and the intricate designs that are such a prominent part of the traditional costumes of the European alpine region. Together, you will knit a little sampler to study all the important techniques used to knit the socks and jackets Bavaria is so famous for.

What You Need!What You Need!What You Need!

We welcome knitters of all backgrounds. All courses have been created with a wide range of skill levels in mind. All instructors have a long history of teaching knitting to a varied audience. Out of respect for your fellow travellers, we assume you know the knitting basics. Norman, Inga, and Roxanne are all so-called Continental knitters that hold and tension the yarn with the left hand and techniques will be demonstrated mostly using this knitting style. Since two classes heavily focus on unique regional knitting styles, we would like to invite you accept the challenge to expand your knitting horizon and learn all about these different ways to knit.
