Between cuff down, toe up, magic loop and fixed circulars, not to mention heel turns and toe shaping, sock knitting can seem like a bit of a mystery and quickly become overwhelming for beginners.
If you’re new to sock knitting or you’ve tried and not yet successfully completed your first pair, then this workshop is for you.
About The Course:
In 3 classes over 3 weeks, you’ll knit a cuff down sample sock using my newly published pattern ‘A Walk Through Time’ and learn all the skills you need to make your very own DK or fingering weight hand knitted socks.
You’ll Learn:
- How to choose the correct pattern size
- Long tail cast on
- Joining the round
- Knitting in the round with 9-inch circular & magic loop
- Turning a heel
- Shaping a toe
- Kitchener stitch
Skill Level:
This course is for the adventurous beginner. No previous sock knitting experience is required, however:
- You must know how to knit, purl, increase and decrease
- Some experience knitting in the round is useful but not essential
Included in the workshop:
- A 9-inch & 80cm fixed circular needle in size to match your yarn
- A copy of ‘A Walk Through Time’ sock pattern in both DK & fingering weight
- Stitch markers
- Afternoon tea
- 10% off storewide on the day
What to bring:
