ABOUT THE SKILLSHARE CLASS
Vincent Williams of Visuvio's Crafts started to knit after he struggled to find warm accessories that worked for him. In this class, he’ll show you just how easy it is to create your own style through stitching. By the end of this 90-minute course, you’ll have a knit cowl of your very own—plus a comprehensive workflow you can use to create any knit project you can imagine.
To start, you’ll learn all the foundational basics to get you from zero to knitting, including:
- Choosing the right notions (knitting tools) and yarn
- Reading knitting patterns
- Practicing the two basic stitches: knit and purl
- Learning to cast on and off to start and finish perfect projects!
Then, you’ll work with Vincent to complete a cowl using the pattern he created for class. You can also apply the tips and tools Vincent shares to a different knitting pattern that’s inspiring you.
Whether you’re a beginner who’s struggled to pick up knitting or a longtime dabbler who wants to improve your skills, this is the perfect class, giving you the chance to get up close to a maker in action and see how a final piece of clothing comes together stitch by stitch.

ABOUT VINCENT WILLIAMS
Vincent Williams is the knitting and crochet artist behind Visuvio's Crafts, a project born from his long and fruitless search for outstanding quality fall/winter accessories. The first thing he found on his journey was that the options for men's scarves were very limited—if there was a section even available. Most of the pieces were too short for a tall guy, featured overly feminine patterns and colors, or were simply way overpriced for a product that would still leave him unfit for the cold.
Fortunately, he'd learned the basics of crocheting from his grandmother at a young age and quickly picked it back up, expanding his knowledge with stitches and mini projects from YouTube content creators. Now, he concentrates on projects based on his own aesthetic—and helps curious beginners get started, too.
