My First Socks - November 8 & 15
Let's learn to knit socks!
In this class we'll take you from cuff to toe of your very first sock! We'll be using the Basic Sock pattern from Churchmouse Studios.
This class is suitable for an intermediate knitter interested in learning how to make socks using double pointed needles. Must know how to knit in the round (any method).
You'll learn: Using double pointed needles, how to turn a heel, make heel flap, pick up stitches, SSK, K2tog, grafting toe
This class will be taught in two - 2 hour sessions. Students are expected to come to the first class with the cuff already knit for one sock (the pattern gives two choices of cuffs). In the first class we will go over making the heel flap and turning the heel and picking up stitches for gussets. During the week, students are expected to to knit the foot of the sock ready to start the toe for second class. The second class will cover shaping toe and grafting.
This class is held in person at our Bainbridge Island shop over two sessions on Sunday November 8th and 15th from 1:00pm - 3:00pm. This class will be taught by our very own Kathy Connelly!
What you'll need for the class:
The pattern is written for either a fingering weight or dk/sport weight yarn.
If doing Fingering Weight:
- Set of US 1 (2.25mm) Double Pointed Needles
If doing DK/Sport Weight:
- Set of US 3 (3.25mm) Double Pointed Needles
It is not required but a second set of double pointed needles is recommended so that two socks are being worked at the same time to reinforce techniques being learned and it supports ending up with a pair of socks.
