Skill Building – Basic Socks March 15, 22, & 29 10:30-12:30
In this Basic Sock class you will learn to knit all aspects of a sock including cuff, leg, heal, foot and toe. We’ll be making a shorty sock in fingering-weight yarn on small needles. Our goal is for you to complete one sock during the class (with homework!) so that you can confidently make the second sock on your own.
Dates/Time:
Saturday mornings, March 15, 22, & 29 10:30-12:30
Duration:
3 classes, each class is 2 hours
Skills Learned:
An introduction to the realm of hand-knitted socks. In this class you will knit a shorty adult sock in fingering-weight yarn and have the skills and sufficient yarn to knit the second sock on your own. The pattern is for simple shorty socks with short leg ribbing, heel flaps, gussets and wedge toes; you will learn to close the toe with Kitchener stitch. The pattern shows striped socks, but for the class we will be knitting in solid colors.
