Knitting Lessons

Knitting as a craft provides hours of fun and relaxation while also allowing you to express yourself. As a lifelong skill, knitting provides hidden health benefits as well. Studies show that knitting improves hand-eye coordination and focus in addition to strengthening memory and cognition—especially problem-solving skills. Just as important, knitting is also fun!

If you’re interested in learning the fundamentals of knitting and growing through the craft, whether in-person or through online knitting lessons, our experienced, certified instructors are ready to create a lesson plan to help you!

Enrolling is easy. Regardless of age and ability, at TakeLessons, you can sign up through our no-hassle procedure, all within minutes.

Certified Knitting Teachers

TakeLessons understands the importance of finding an instructor with whom you can vibe and work with you on your terms. That’s why we carefully select only the best knitting teachers, ones that have spent years honing their craft and have the reviews of past students to back it up.

We also background screen all our instructors for their safety and our students. Upon enrolling, you’ll choose from our stable of knitting teachers through the vetting process that can match your desire, ability, schedules, and budget.

What’s more, our affordable programs allow you to schedule classes (in-person or remote) for 30, 45, and 60-minute sessions, with the average cost of a 1-hour class being less than $50. Once you decide on a teacher, you will meet with them to set your program and course, and voila! You are on your journey toward perfecting the art of knitting.

At TakeLessons, it’s that simple.

Knitting Online Lessons for All Ages

Our classes are designed to teach and challenge students of all ages and abilities. Whether you’re looking for knitting lessons for kids or adults, our customizable lesson plans are designed for each student to achieve their goals.

What’s more, with the individualized style of learning, you can start a lesson at any time! With our convenient programming, you can choose in-person lessons (by choosing knitting lessons near you) or online classes, making it easier to fit your schedule so that you can learn knitting at your own time and pace.

Knitting Lessons for All Levels

TakeLessons offers classes customized for students of all levels and interests, making each lesson a unique experience for the student.

The customizable, individualized class structure is perfect for someone looking to take knitting lessons near you or through the convenience of online learning.

FAQ

Which is easier, crocheting or knitting?

Crocheting is considered easier to master and is less intricate than knitting. With only one hook that doesn’t require stitches between needles, it’s recommended to find a teacher to learn how to master knitting, and you can quickly search for a knitting tutor near me at TakeLessons.

Is knitting good for your brain?

Studies have shown that activities such as knitting can reduce the risk of cognitive decline by as much as 30-50% in adults and seniors. Knitting requires the use of many different parts of the brain as well as maintaining hand-eye coordination.
