If you find the idea intimidating or are new to knitting in the round? Socks 101 is an excellent opportunity to make friends with DPN’s. This class is for you! Learn how to knit socks one-at-a-time top down. The pattern is inclusive of both DK & Fingering sock yarn. However, we suggest beginning with DK yarn and US 3 needles for first time sock knitters, for ease of handling. This class will teach knitting in the round, ribbing, German Twisted cast on, changing colors, the anatomy of the sock and how to knit it, plus the Kitchener stitch. Basic knitting skills are required: Must know how to cast on, knit stitch, & purl stitch.
Supplies must be bought at the store, and the pattern must be bought through Ravelry. Pattern Churchmouse Classics (Basic Sock)
The class is taught in four 2 hour sessions. Don’t worry if you can’t make all four sessions, we will arrange some time for you to get caught up!
