Worsted Sock Class

6:30-8:30pm

In this 3 session class we will work through an entire top down adult size sock in worsted weight yarn.  We will cover all the mysteries of sock knitting, including starting with a stretchy cast on for a comfortable fit, turning a heel, picking up stitches without creating holes and grafting the toe stitches with Kitchener stitch for a seamless finish. Once you know the basics of sock knitting a whole world of inventive patterns is within your reach.   In order to get the most out of this class, you should be comfortable knitting and purling in the round on double pointed needles or with magic loop.

US #4 dpns (or long circular for magic loop)

Regular stitch markers, removable stitch markers, darning needle

Skills Required: knitting and purling in the round on double pointed needles (or magic loop).
