First Socks

There’s nothing like a pair of hand-knitted socks. But between the small needles, the gussets and heel flaps, and that multi-step Kitchener stitch, they can be more than a little intimidating.

In this three-session class, you will make your first sock! Along the way, you’ll learn the basic anatomy of a sock, from cuff to toe, and master all the skills you’ll need to knit socks that fit like a dream and embark upon future sock journeys with confidence.

In this three session class, you’ll learn:

1.      German Twisted cast on (so you don’t cut off the blood flow to your foot)

2.      Picking up stitches (for forming the gusset)

3.      Making a cushioned heel flap

4.      Left-slanting and right-slanting decreases (for shaping the gusset and toe)

5.      Kitchener stitch (for seamlessly closing up the toe)

 

Pattern: 

The pattern is a Tea Cozy shop pattern and will be provided in the first class. Students will also receive a digital version. 

Yarn: 

300 yards of worsted weight yarn, preferably in a solid color and a sturdy construction.

Tools: 

  1. 3.75mm/US5 needles, either double-pointed OR 32-inch circular needle (for magic loop) OR mini circular needle
  2. Stitch markers
  3. Darning needle

Skill level:  This class is for those who are comfortable knitting and purling in the round, and making increases and decreases.

Cost:  $120
