Viking Knit Chain class is an introduction to the art of knitting or weaving chain (see chain above) using the viking stitch. Create your own handmade chain. We will learn the basics of the stitch and make chain “sketches” by varying the chain width and gauge of wire to practice. This will help you chose the final design of the chain you will make. Expect to complete one chain within the class, however you may work on a chain on your own time to complete as many as you would like. Materials fee of $15.00 for wire to make sketches and other materials (final chain costs separate). Final chain can be made in Artistic wire or fine silver. Artistic wire will be less than $10.00; silver cost will vary according to market price and gauge chosen with an approximate cost of $20-25.

Viking Knit Chain • Saturdays • 10:00 - 12:30 pm Fall I #1935; Fall II #1935
