Description

ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP

Can you name anything nicer than spending your Friday evenings cozy inside knitting with some new friends?! In this four-evening workshop, you'll work on The Sloped Toque by Moss Mfg, taught by the designer herself: Zyre Moss-Hoskins!

We will be working through the pattern together during our sessions, and please plan to put some time into this project between classes so that you're ready for the next steps each week.

This class will be taught in continental style. As an added bonus, this class is lefty-friendly, and there are even lefty instructions available in the pattern instructions! 

ABOUT THE SLOPED TOQUE

The Sloped Toque is a ribbed knit toque with a double folded brim and a crown that comes to a gentle tapered point. It can be worn high on the head for a pointed look or pulled down for a smooth rounded fit. The brim has a clean finish and can be worn folded or unfolded.

WHAT TO BRING/ WHAT'S INCLUDED

  • Since we suspect most people who knit may already own the correct needles, please bring or buy:
    • 4mm (US6) double pointed needles. These can be purchased from The Beehive, Knotty by Nature, or Michaels.
    • 4mm crochet hook
  • Included in the workshop price:
    • Two balls of yarn in your choice of colour
    • Stitch markers
    • A paper copy of The Sloped Toque pattern
    • 10 hours of instruction at The Sewing Club

Our workshops are held in small groups and usually sell out far in advance. It can be very difficult to fill a cancelled spot on short notice. In order to ensure we can continue offering small group sewing workshops, the following cancellation policy applies to all workshop purchases. 

We understand people get sick, child care cancels, and other emergencies come up. We ask that you please read this policy before booking a workshop, and understand that we must adhere to it. Please be understanding of our limitations as a small, independently run business, and don't ask us to make an exception to our policy.

If you can provide over 48 hours notice:

If you need to cancel your spot and are able to give over 48 hours' notice, you will receive a digital store credit that can be used for a future workshop, to shop online, or to shop in person. Store credits never expire, and will be issued to the email used to book the workshop.

To cancel, contact us.

If you cancel within 48 hours of the start time:

It is very difficult for us to fill workshop spots on short notice. If you cancel within 48 hours or do not show for the workshop, you are not eligible for a store credit, and you are not able to pick up workshop materials.

If you are able to find someone to take your place in the workshop, contact us and we can try to arrange that they take your place. This is not guaranteed, especially if they require any custom pattern adjustments.

To cancel, contact us.

Arriving Late

If you arrive one hour (60 minutes) or more after the scheduled workshop time, that will be considered a no-show, and you will not be able to join the workshop, receive a store credit, or a refund.

Multi-Day Workshops

Partial refunds are not available for missed sessions or if you can't finish your workshop. If you can't attend workshop dates, contact us and we can arrange for you to finish the project during a co-working session or take it home. If you must schedule a follow-up session because you missed a class, there will be a charge for additional teaching hours.

If you must return because you could not finish your project in the scheduled time and you attended all sessions, there is no charge for the additional teaching time.
