The Latvian Braid: A Knitted Bracelet Workshop with Deb Burger

Add a touch of Baltic tradition to your knitting repertoire! Join renowned instructor Deb Burger for a focused, hands-on workshop where you’ll learn to create the stunning Latvian Braid.

While this technique is often seen adorning the cuffs of intricate mittens and sweaters, we’re scaling it down into a stylish, wearable bracelet. This project is the perfect "low-stakes, high-reward" way to master a sophisticated skill that will elevate all your future knitting projects.

What You’ll Learn:

• The Anatomy of the Braid: Understand the mechanics of left-leaning and right-leaning braids to create that iconic "v" shape.
• Two-Color Tension: Tips for managing two strands of yarn without tangling or puckering.
• Seamless Finishes: How to cast on and bind off for a professional-looking accessory.
• Cultural Context: Deb will share insights into the history and traditional uses of this beautiful folk-art technique.
