Patrones calados, sin miedo
With the openwork stitches you can create designs and give a very original look to your projects. Combining the magic of the stitches with the direction of the decreases, you will obtain very attractive motifs. Although at first glance, they may seem a big challenge, with Filipa you will lose your fear of openwork patterns: from the simplest to the most elaborate.
Filipa will explain how to read both the charts and the written instructions. She will teach you how to work the most common decreases and will give you useful tips to keep your work under control at all times and to solve the most common mistakes.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll be ready to work on all those openwork patterns you have accumulated in your wishlist. Let’s get to work!
