Curious about knitting socks but not sure where to start? This class is the perfect introduction to the art of sock knitting! Designed for adventurous beginners and intermediate knitters, this workshop will guide you step-by-step through the process of knitting a top-down sock using double-pointed needles or magic loop—your choice. You’ll learn all the essential techniques: how to knit a stretchy cuff, shape the heel, turn the heel flap, and decrease for the toe. By the end of the class, you’ll have a finished (or nearly finished) sock and the skills to knit the second one on your own.
