Socks Unlocked Workshop: Knitting Toe-Up Socks Without a Pattern

$75.00
Whether this is your first foray into sock knitting or a chance to add new skills to your knitting toolbox, you’ll come away from this class knowing how to knit socks for any foot, at any gauge, without referring to a pattern.

In this 6-hour class you’ll work a complete sample-sized sock as you learn the skills from three of my most popular sock classes, including:
  • Casting on seamlessly for toe-up socks
  • Short row heels
  • Optional mini gussets
  • Stretchy bind-offs
We’ll also cover tips for how to work socks two-at-a-time, measuring the foot, adjustments for leg shaping, how and when to add patterning, and how to evaluate the best ribbing for your sock pattern. Special attention and instruction will be given to working on two circular needles, but students are welcome to use dpns or magic loop if they are already familiar with working in the round on those needle types.

Students should know how to cast on, bind off, knit, purl, increase, decrease, and work in the round.

Supplies: Your class fee does not include supplies. You will need at least 100 yards of sock to worsted-weight yarn in a light color, two short (16'-24') circular needles* in the size appropriate to the yarn, a tapestry needle, scissors, measuring tape, stitch markers.
 
* If you are already very comfortable using magic loop or dpns to work in the round you are welcome to knit that way instead, but the class will primarily focus on using two short circular needles.
 
 
Date and Time: Class takes place Saturday January 30, 2021 from 9:00 am-3:00 pm Pacific Time (10 Mountain/11 Central/12 Eastern) via Zoom. We’ll have several breaks scheduled during the class time, including one longer break so you can eat and stretch. That will allow for approximately 5 hours of instruction time.
