Description: Students will learn how to add 2 rows of braiding to a round, oval, or square cornered hooked center for a combined hooked and braided chair or table mat.
After learning how to prepare the wool, braiding instruction begins, then you will start right in on braiding. You will learn how to pad and back your hooking to make it the same height as the braid.
All braided rows around the hooking are joined together by the butting process. There are many ways to butt and Kris will teach students an easy and quick method.
Students will have the option of adding more braided rows, at home, to make your hooked and braided mat into a small rug.
Prior to class, Kris will contact students to discuss their hooked center. Students will come to class with the 8” center completely hooked.
Teacher will contact students prior to class: Yes
Level: Basic – students must have basic rug hooking knowledge & experience. No prior braiding experience is required.
