Teen Summer Camp: Chunky Knit Cuties!

The softest DIYs of the summer—no needles required!

This summer at AR Workshop, we’re bringing all the cozy vibes and creative energy with our Chunky Knit Camp for Teens! Campers will learn the fun and easy technique of chunky hand-knitting to create trendy, textured projects like chunky knit pillows or whimsical accent pieces—think cuddly strawberries, buzzing bumblebees, and more.

This class is perfect for beginners and creative teens who want to learn a new craft, express their personal style, and leave with something they’ll actually want to use or display in their room.

All materials included (super-soft yarn in fun color choices!)

Projects include pillows, plush strawberries, bees & other cozy accents

For ages 13-18

Hosted at AR Workshop Hillsboro

Get ready to stitch, stuff, and style some of the cutest DIYs of the summer. It’s soft, it’s squishy, it’s totally teen-approved
