We will offer a variety of free and fee patterns to draw customers into your shop. Many will include additional teacher notes, handouts and marketing materials. The detailed class materials are available only to Local Yarn Shops and are designed to go hand-in-hand with the pattern. Our Alliterations project plan is a great example, designed specifically to bring new knitters into your store.
Alliterations is a perfect next step project; just right for the new knitter looking to expand their skills while focusing on core mechanics. The project uses three variations of garter stitch with a twist. There's still no purling but by introducing slip stitches, k2tog and yarn overs the patterns are prettier than garter. The result is a project the new knitting will be proud of and prevent the boredom of endless garter stitch that results in UFOs.
Here's a sample customer flyer. We'll email you the entire class plan as an example when you register (that's how we can restrict it to only LYSs).
