Learning to Knit with Lanolin

Learning to Knit with Lanolin is a sample lesson from a unit designed to teach eight-year-olds to knit in a classroom setting. This lesson on creating a knit stitch includes a video tutorial, a standards-aligned teacher’s guide, and a student worksheet.

Knitting, whether part of inquiry- or project-based learning, offers opportunities for Common Core ELA and Math standards coverage, as well as NGSS Engineering standards and addresses CASEL’s Core SEL Competencies.
