Description

Curious about sock knitting but feeling intimidated? This class equips you for your first sock-knitting adventures. We get you started working in the round and give you all the skills you need. I’ll explain the two types of sock construction (toe-up and top-down) and the different ways to work them (DPNs, Magic Loop, and on two circular needles). You’ll learn how to read a sock pattern, how to understand sock sizing, and how to find great sock patterns. By the end of this class you’ll be well on our way to making your first sock.
